Your post had me in STITCHES hehehe THE UNBEARABLE TIGHTNESS OF BEING. LOL
But I do have a couple things to add.
First, the common-place you mentioned happens in any fandom. At least it happens in ALL the fandoms I read (which ok, they aren't too many, but still). I had this discussion a little while ago, and we decided it works in waves too, like a domino effect: one author uses an expression, you get that expression for the next couple months.
Second, well. The people that write slash stories are mostly women, and a large part of them so young they don't really have the experience on the subject. I truly believe they learned from fanfiction, so they are probably using the knowledge they aquired from another 14 year old girl... the cycle is endless lol.
