Ejaculation

Prior to reading the book "Anne of Green Gables", I had never realized that "ejaculate" (or, better yet, "ejaculated") could be used as a term of exclamation. Imagine my surprise when, upon reading the book, I found out that it was chalked full of ejaculation. One thing was ejaculated after another. It was almost tag-team ejaculation. People were ejaculating all over the place.
Now I am a fairly juvenile-minded person, and so I had a hard time not giggling when I read lines like "'Well, this is a pretty piece of business!' ejaculated Marilla." And then listening to teachers read out various other lines that also contained the word within them.
I have come to the conclusion that L.M. Montgomery merely enjoys ejaculating. I guess there is no harm in that. A little ejaculation from time never hurt anybody. It may have knocked a few people up though...

HaHa, fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately) I don't think I knew what "ejaculate" meant at the age when I was reading Anne of Green Gables. Had I, I'm sure I would have come up with a plethora of sexual references. I was a dirty-minded little kid.

You guys actually read that Anne of Green Gables stuff? I just remember watching the Disney Channel's version of it.

The school is holding "screenings" of one of its movie versions, but that is outside of class. I may or may not go to watch it. At least I can rest assured that there will be far less ejaculation in the movie version.. Or at least I hope there will be far less.
