Status Updates From Seeing the Same Blue

Story is pretty good, but the author is over-writing it to show us all that he has a good vocabulary. For example, Cliff's sister Allyson stops early one morning to "have it out" with Dusty -- she calls him a "fag", and he ends up calling her a "harridan". When you have to look up a word to see if it is an insult, when he should be calling her a c*nt or a bitch, it is not realistic dialogue.

Why does Cliff have an aversion to being called cute?
