I have been taken to task here on the East Midlands board for criticising the use of euphemistic phrases such as 'we sorted the paperwork out' and 'it was on with the hat /mac / raincoat'

https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=91427.new#new

Personally I find such phrases in reports extremely grating and a sign of fluffiness as though they are trying to deny it's a paid encounter.

What do others think?

We all know that a pussy is a cunt!

What a John Thomas is.

That a pro$$ie is a tar, a working girl, an escort!

People write what they are comfortable with, even in txt spk, as long as we understand, they have communicated and that is all that really matters.

I'm ok with the euphemisms above, I too use brass as money and best mates coat as condom.

I can't say for all but I write as I speak.

The fluffy shite that bothers me is "what happened remains between us" "oh, how we laughed as I handed her the flowers" etc etc etc

you get the general idea

Since when were they called reports thought they were reviews on UKP, was that an euphemistic slip.   :lol: :lol: :lol:

Doesn't annoy me just helps me judge the reviewer and if they have fluffy tendencies !

The only thing that really grates with me in reviews/reports is a writing style which demonstrates that the author got an "F" grade on GCSE English. Quite painful to read!

No qualifications are required to be a punter, and less educated ones need a voice to.

It's horses for courses... Everyone will have their own idiosyncrasies and turns of phrase some of which will maybe sound odd or weird. Thing is, fact they're sharing a review makes me think we should cut them some slack on the style front. Only sort of posting that irks me is nasty, aggressive or angry writing.... Thankfully there's not much of that about on here.

Not something I could get worked up about. Whether someone says, "On with the hat" or " Spunkgobbling Sally carefully opened, and rolled on a Durex elite intimate feel condom" it just means that he put a blob on and humped her.

I suspect your AW feedback is also laced with code.

Too fucking right. Makes me feel like I'm reading a bloody AW fluffer.

The "lady" did this and that (after mentioning her first name in every paragraph out of 'respect')
She's a prostitute, a 'prossie' for short -- not a fucking 'lady'! And unless it's an orgy, we got her name at the title

One can usually tell within a couple of lines whether the reviewer is talking in a normal voice or like someone ina  drug-induced dream.

Some recents:

"The magic door opened; I was confronted with a vision of loveliness"
Try specsavers ffs.

"the most attractive girl I've seen"
Never walk down the high street I suppose?

"my mouth was watering"
If you drool a lot, take a kleenex.

" I did my due diligence"
What does that mean? Did some research? Did as you were told?

" the intensity of the 2 of us really going for it had to be felt at Richter scale 4.3"
slapper must have had a wobbly bed I guess

"she would be happy to entertain the concept if I proposed it to her"
more grovel talk, meaning, "she might think about it if I asked in suitably fluffy grovelling fashion"

"She then placed a mac on dboy junior "
probably told not to use certain naughty words in school English class were we?

"Mr Happy got the better of me"
I recognise that phrase. If Mr Bean could talk he'd maybe use it. Otherwise mostly those who are not yet adult or simply retarded say that.

and I can hardly believe we still get phrases like this! Really!! (only two days ago...) :
"what followed was just mindblowing. I wont go into explicit details as its personal between her and me"

I was trying to think how to sum up a recent visit to a Romanian prossie and couldn't get the self-service check-outs (eg at Tesco's) out of my head (looks impressive, zero human interaction)

But compliments to this guy:
"Typical Romanian, makes you feel like a war criminal"

Stuff like 'sorted the paperwork out" is just bollocks.  When i don't read such shite then do i jump to the conclusion "i wonder - did the punter get it for free ?".  Like fuck i do.  And as for "on with the mac" do in conclude that if not mentioned was it a BB sesssion ?  Err - no.  It just pads out the review.  I much prefer reviews from the likes of Bigus Dickus which whilst conveying the info are witty as well
One euphemistic word which sets the alarm bells ringing for me is "bubbly".  We all know what this means  :lol:

I don't regard them as signs of fluffiness, but they are undoubtedly hackneyed phrases - so they're not brilliant from a stylistic point of view. I don't even see them as euphemisms either - more as attempts at humour. It was funny the first time somebody called a condom a "mac" I guess?

To be fair, it can sometimes be difficult to avoid time-worn expressions. In one of my recent reviews I spent ages trying to think of an alternative way of saying "her pics don't do her justice". In the end I just gave up and prefaced it with a "cliché alert" disclaimer. We are, after all, just trying to put across information - not going after the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Maybe the answer is simply not to mention the things that a reader would assume happened anyway in a punt!? Money always changes hands, condoms are (nearly) always put on, etc etc.

Don't mind the euphemisms that much, can't stand lack of detail as in what services were delivered, if the punter doesn't want to share he shouldn't bother with a review. I like reading reviewers' different styles and enjoy the odd metaphor.

Think it might be worth coming up with some new UKP phrases.  So for instance when playing golf there is an "Adolf Hitler" [took two shots in the bunker]
Thankfully UKP reviews don't tend to be delusional like those on AW.  Coz the poster will be ripped to shreds for starters.  This instant feedback doesn't happen on AW & so the reviewer can carry along in blissful ignorance

Online Steely Dan

I don't mind it if is a one off to be funny or the poster wants to write something different.  But I agree with Nik, I hate it when it becomes the norm.  This particular poster was new and he thought that was the normal phrase to use.  THAT is scary.  Euphemisms should not be the norm.

I am worried that if I look at my reviews I'll find similar.  Oh well.

I also have been taken to task for mentioning things to new posters - even when it was done politely as Nik did in this case.  On reflection I still think this is right. When people are told things as new posters they listen - after a few posts perhaps less so.  And really if someone is so delicate that they cant take a polite comment on their first review, well what I think about that remains between me and ... oh wait I can't say that.

Offline lostandfound

So long as I know what they mean it doesn't bother me, in fact I scarcely notice them. Fluffiness seems more subtle to me than simply using terms such as "the lady" or "put on a hat" or "popped"  etc.

I disagree.

Before disagreeing, I will however say that yes, one shouldn't push it so far that people feel embarrassed if they write a positive review. There are External Link/Members Only on writing a review. This is UKP. If people want to write in adoring, prossie style, there are other forums. By criticising fluffie reviews (and a high proportion of punters start out fluffie so most of us have been through it) people learn. Hinting gently doesn't work. Many people, including myself, can perhaps sound aggressive, but only write like that to preserve forum integrity, the mainspring of the forum ethos and the only way punters can really help each other to find value-for-money paid sex. It's ok to be angry. When someone really is being an utter aggressive prick, Admin or the mod will step in. Again, see the forum rules for what constitutes abuse. I don't make them: the owner does (It is his site, he pays for it, makes the rules, is pretty transparent in applying them, and to be honest, most established members are very happy with them.)

Now, back to answering your point>

Firstly, everyone has plenty of slack. There's little or no moderation. Reviews aren't edited. Anyone can write what they like.

Secondly, this forum was invented because the reviews on AW and other 'punter' sites (ie websites supported by prossies) are flattering to the point of being useless.

Thirdly, wading through a long fluffy post just to get some facts on whether to book someone is hard enough, without a trillion euphemisms as someone's ego practices its 'style'

Fourthly, the forum exists to help punters, not exchange soft porn

Fifthly, if you are man enough to pay for sex surely you should be man enough for man-to-man honest feedback

Sixth: If fluffies are not criticised they just get worse

Seventh: fluffie reviews tend to be dishonest, the writer deluding himself and other punters


Offline Marmalade

Another one I personally don't like is, "As a Romanian, she is an exception to the rule." She never is. (I did think it of a couple once but they proved me wrong). Better to assume she'll be utterly awful and then be pleasantly surprised that she was only 'poor'.

If someone wants to say a Romanian is "an exception to the rule" they should back it up by having reviewed so many Romanians negatively that I can see what, on their rating scale, among all their negative reviews of Romanians that make the rule, the one they claim is an "exception."

Offline Leicestergent100

Some interesting points here and I must admit it's made me rethink a little bit.  I still think it's important we should write in our own styles to keep the variety and to make the reviews more readable than just the same same.  But I also 100% agree with certain phrases being complete bollocks if people are saying them because they think that's the "accepted way" on here.  Embarrassingly I remember whilst writing my first review that I consciously used a euphemism for putting the condom on because I'd read it on so many other reviews previously.  Would I have said such bullshit normally? Would I fuck!  But I fell into the trap of trying to "fit in" as a first time reviewer...which is kinda of pathetic on reflection Ha!  :dash: 

But yes, I think we just got to be own style when it comes to reviewing, something on reflection I wasn't for small parts of my first review. 

Good discussion this...I like it when other people's opinions make me reassess!  :thumbsup:

Yes - it's a bit like somebody has a shop selling clocks, and they call it "Perfect Timing". It must have seemed at great idea (geddit!) to the owners back in 1997 when they started the business, but now their employees curse the name over the shop front every time they turn up for work on a dreary Monday morning.

I'm definitely getting old, because some things in reviews just make me feel rather weary. Talking about "Round 1" and "Round 2" has that effect on me. It reminds me of that scene in Fawlty Towers where the Californian guy staying in the hotel talks about being able to go down to the beach (in California) in the morning and then go skiing in the mountains in the afternoon. Basil's reply is: "That must be very tiring." The boxing metaphor doesn't help either.

It's " cut to the chase.."   

Can't remember who said it first, but it means fast forward to the car chase in the film e.g. get to the point / or the best bit..

This phrase originated in the US film industry. Many early silent films ended in chase sequences preceded by obligatory romantic storylines. The first reference to it dates back to that era, just after the first 'talkie' - The Jazz Singer, 1927. It is a script direction from Joseph Patrick McEvoy's novel Hollywood Girl, 1929:

I've read a lot of reviews on UKP (longtime lurker even before I registered) and I can't say I'm bothered by "stock phrases" as long as the meaning is there - but if it's just ephemism after euphemism then it makes the review bland and less informative, and therefore less useful in making a decision to see a girl or not.

I think its also important to try to get across at least some of the "flavour" of what actually happened in the review - I've written two reviews recently in which the sex could be described almost identically (e.g. "she sucked my cock, then put a condom on and we fucked in missionary and cowgirl until I came. I got dressed and left") but one was fantastic and one was boring - I don't know how to get the difference across without using more descriptive language and euphemisms and "turns of phrase" are unfortunatly part of language.

Lots of euphemisms in reviiews might also have something to do with the fact that most blokes (by which I mean new reviewers) are more used to talking about sex than writing about it - personally the only other things I write up are all work related and I don't often have cause to write "her pussy was very neat and tidy but had relativly long lips and a small clit" on my invoices... :D

**Accepted that I'm a newbie who's only written a couple of reviews, and they use that language that will probably piss most of the people off in this thread no end  :unknown: **

Offline Blackpool Rock

I don't see an issue with people putting in a few phrases that make the review a bit less sterile / matter of fact so long as they don't cross into fluffy land and most people are trying to be a bit creative even if these phrases are now stock quotes.
So "On with the mac" is fine with me but "she erotically rolled the love coat on" is crossing the border.

I want a review to be factual and informative but if people also want to try and lighten it up a bit then no harm done.

What is important though is not to put newbies and lurkers off posting genuine reviews while pulling up the real fluffies

In fairness Nik does says it's a good review but takes exception to the "paperwork" phrase though not sure why your review was pulled up for this and not the 1000's of others that use the same phrase (pretty sure i've used it too)

You are correct that like myself you are a relative newbie however you have done 7 reviews in a year and a half which is more than many have managed in a lot longer, personally i'd hate to see a positive contributor put off reviewing.

ditto what VirtualWaster said and all newbies, do try to have a look at the the Review Writing Guide and try to pick up the ethos of the site. It's a serious project to help punters, not a club, nor a democracy (admin owns it, makes the rules, and keeps it going at his personal cost; Nik is the mod and founder). There's lots of fun too, but the underlying objective is to put the punter first and help him get vfm paid sex.

Either the reminders are repeated or it would degenerate into lovey-dovey every prossie a 10/10 piece of bullshit. If you read reviews to buy anything else, you'd look for a range of factual reviews, good and bad. Would you read an auto site where every second-hand car was "perfection on wheels, the stuff dreams are made of!!!" Of course not.

Think about your punts. Which were the best (positive), which were the worst (negative) and which were inbetween (neutral). My own yardstick for instance for 'positive' is 'I intend probably to see her again.'  Everyone has their own yardstick, but it means using it, not just the rating everything in the top inch.

Don't think about "what the prossie will think" of your review. That's who AW feedbacks are written for.  There's no need to use all those 'polite' terms as if you were still in the punt and she were listening and you "didn't want to offend." Reviews are aimed at other blokes. Did she have a big arse? Did she do the stuff you reasonably expected from her profile?

Newbies especially often like 'a bit of colour' but it does mean 10 reviews on a prossie take longer to read. Skimming through 20 to choose? Most people will skip.
Whereas "Excellent OWO and enjoyed CIM" can be read at a glance. (Presuming you had that.)

If it's an unusual story, probably everyone wants to hear: but it's not a competition. Get the basics:
Link. Name. City. Price paid. Length of booking.
Physical (Age, approx nationality, build, bust, differences from profile etc, nice, average, covered in tats and scars etc)
Comms. Speed of answering, intelligible directions.
Venue. Approx location. Swish/housing estate/crack den look. Parking.
Service. Did she do what was promised. Good attitude. Took direction. Didn't switch phone off. Time waster. Skilful/not.

Only examples but useful to jot that stuff down first. Then add a personal opinion and if you thought the punt was value for money. The opinion is useful (especially if it sounds level headed and not OTT) but the fact list is likely to apply to every punter; the personal opinion mostly just to those punters with the same tastes and yardsticks.

It's a big jump from the AW ethos of prossie worship. Btw, everyone gets a 'mauling', me included. Guys are paying good money and they're entitled question your judgement if it seems to them rose-tinted. It's not personal. If the striker misses a penalty his mates and the supporters are likely to slag him off for it if they think he wasn't focussed. They're not jailers: just saying it as they see it.

Hope that helps someone. Now stop being a woos, write some reviews. And welcome to UKP.  :hi:

 I think too many people get over worried about the detail or style of a report. In my view any honest report has considerable value.

Even a completely fluffy report.

Imagine some fluff writes something like "Was permitted to meet X. Handed over my tribute. I am too much of a gentleman to reveal what happened, but left with a smile on my face. A big positive"

Not the world's most useful report. But if the guy's honest you can deduce that woman actually exists, and her photos are most likely not faked, and she's capable of pleasing at least one customer. A dam sight more useful than my own non reports.....

Yes, I accept this might seem unfair as am aware that there are hundreds of others like it out there.
However I don't read the vast majority of reviews. Indeed apart from the main board and off topic the only regional boards I usually read (unless directed by a post report) are: Yorks, East Midlands and London, as these are the only regions relevant to me. Ie where I'm likely to punt should I ever start again.  :D   Furthermore I have been interested in the subject of this review so was pleased to see it was positive.
For the record I have long disliked such terms going back to the days before UKP and accept the reviewer was merely following 'tradition.'

Thanks to you and VW for your advice and guidance on review writing, and for your welcome to UKP.

The lady / girl / WG / pro$$ie / whore (surely enough euphemisms there already  :lol:) for whom I was going to write a review has been previously well reviewed on here (all positive) and I have little or nothing to add to what has already been said about her. I would have been writing about a meeting that took place quite some time ago anyway, so my review would not have been much use to let guys on here know what she may or may not be like more recently  :(

With this in mind, and not wanting to to get a mauling for doing it wrong, I am going to be "a woos" and chicken out of writing my review.  :hi:

It's a serious project to help punters, not a club, nor a democracy (admin owns it, makes the rules, and keeps it going at his personal cost; Nik is the mod and founder). There's lots of fun too, but the underlying objective is to put the punter first and help him get vfm paid sex.

Either the reminders are repeated or it would degenerate into lovey-dovey every prossie a 10/10 piece of bullshit. If you read reviews to buy anything else, you'd look for a range of factual reviews, good and bad. Would you read an auto site where every second-hand car was "perfection on wheels, the stuff dreams are made of!!!" Of course not.

Think about your punts. Which were the best (positive), which were the worst (negative) and which were inbetween (neutral). My own yardstick for instance for 'positive' is 'I intend probably to see her again.'  Everyone has their own yardstick, but it means using it, not just the rating everything in the top inch.

Don't think about "what the prossie will think" of your review. That's who AW feedbacks are written for.  There's no need to use all those 'polite' terms as if you were still in the punt and she were listening and you "didn't want to offend." Reviews are aimed at other blokes. Did she have a big arse? Did she do the stuff you reasonably expected from her profile?

Newbies especially often like 'a bit of colour' but it does mean 10 reviews on a prossie take longer to read. Skimming through 20 to choose? Most people will skip.
Whereas "Excellent OWO and enjoyed CIM" can be read at a glance. (Presuming you had that.)

If it's an unusual story, probably everyone wants to hear: but it's not a competition. Get the basics:
Link. Name. City. Price paid. Length of booking.
Physical (Age, approx nationality, build, bust, differences from profile etc, nice, average, covered in tats and scars etc)
Comms. Speed of answering, intelligible directions.
Venue. Approx location. Swish/housing estate/crack den look. Parking.
Service. Did she do what was promised. Good attitude. Took direction. Didn't switch phone off. Time waster. Skilful/not.

Only examples but useful to jot that stuff down first. Then add a personal opinion and if you thought the punt was value for money. The opinion is useful (especially if it sounds level headed and not OTT) but the fact list is likely to apply to every punter; the personal opinion mostly just to those punters with the same tastes and yardsticks.

It's a big jump from the AW ethos of prossie worship. Btw, everyone gets a 'mauling', me included. Guys are paying good money and they're entitled question your judgement if it seems to them rose-tinted. It's not personal. If the striker misses a penalty his mates and the supporters are likely to slag him off for it if they think he wasn't focussed. They're not jailers: just saying it as they see it.

Hope that helps someone. Now stop being a woos, write some reviews. And welcome to UKP.  :hi:
As a newbie I was contributing to Demonic's excellent review thread when this started. I agree with most of what you say in your posts in this thread. I would, however, point out that, from memory, not many reviews meet your criteria whether the contributor is a new contributor or an old contributor. As you say, not to me, I will try not to be "a woos" and contribute to the East and West Midlands review sections. As a final thought Demonics review that caused this thread to emerge provoked me to arrange a booking with the WG in question. Surely that's what ukpunting is all about.

It's horses for courses... Everyone will have their own idiosyncrasies and turns of phrase some of which will maybe sound odd or weird.

Often depending on whereabouts in the country you live. Where I live we have dinner and tea, others will have lunch and dinner. Both are correct.

Thanks to you and VW for your advice and guidance on review writing, and for your welcome to UKP.

The lady / girl / WG / pro$$ie / whore (surely enough euphemisms there already  :lol:) for whom I was going to write a review has been previously well reviewed on here (all positive) and I have little or nothing to add to what has already been said about her. I would have been writing about a meeting that took place quite some time ago anyway, so my review would not have been much use to let guys on here know what she may or may not be like more recently  :(

With this in mind, and not wanting to to get a mauling for doing it wrong, I am going to be "a woos" and chicken out of writing my review.  :hi:
Personally I think you should still review to get your reviewing cherry popped but entirely your choice, don't become a non reviewing newbie or lurker

Porn one in general... Reffering to parts of their/your body in the third person.
"Suck that cock"
"Fuck that arse"
"Lick that pussy"

All a bit odd to me.
