Literary Orgasm 

When you read a book, and a big plot twist, or a big surprise happens that makes you go ''Oh my God!''

Taffy: I was reading the seventh Harry Potter,and when I found out that Snape was actually a good guy, I had a literary orgasm.

Jenn: I know! So did I!

literary masturbation 

When someone quotes him or herself.

Yesterday, Brian put his own, apparently funny quote, on his AIM profile. There should be some decency law against literary masturbation like that.

Literary analysis 

A form of ritual torture, usually performed by high school and college English teachers. It involves forcing students to read an inconprehensible piece of literature, then write a report about a vaguely defined topic relating to the piece, usually consisting of 8-10 or more pages. Has been outlawed in some European countries.

I want you all to read Homer's Illiad, then write a 13-15 page report on its relation to the condition of Asia at the time. It will be due next week.

Literary Homosexuals 

One who speaks with correct pronunciation and in old english. They are commonly found in rich urban areas throughout the United States. They usually have a habit of correcting others grammar and oral language. They find themselves to be completely perfect at the language of English, and deny anybody correcting them if they do indeed happen to make a mistake. They can become extremely annoying over time and can even cause people to question they're sexuality preference.

Literary Homosexuals:

They will type with correct punctuation and grammar and usually speak in a formal manner:
"Hello my fellow colleague. How was your day at school? Mine was fantastic, thank you for asking!"

They even sometimes correct you for small mistakes in your speech.

"Alright, me and Matt are going to get lunch." -Person
"Matt and I.*" - Literary Homosexual.

These people are continuing to grow in wealthy areas that are moderately populated. Watch out, because they increase in their obsession with Literary perfection, and continue to enforce anger in people around them.

literary masturbation 

A lot of so-called journalism today is literary masturbation where, instead of researching a subject and writing an informed and stimulating article, the writer has a wank-fest of verbal indulgence expressing their personal opinion. This is forgiveable in the very young who may be playing with language and style and have lived so shortly their lack of experience absolves them from such a waste of words. You have to make mistakes to learn. The real damage occurs when this behaviour lasts past college!

He's too lazy to engage with the subject so he just lays back and verbosely self-indulges - it's a shame, really, because he can string sentences together well; if only they had content....

Literary Selfie 

Autobiography. - synonym

With the ever increasing interest in the "it's all about me" social media, it is only fitting that the written word evolve along with the instant digital imagery subject matter that brought us the word "selfie". Sadly though, as over-used as it is, most online auto-correction scripts still do not recognize "selfie" as a word.

Tell-all books and autobiographies written by a former celebrities are really nothing more than "Literary Selfies" of forgotten personalities.
