I was asked about the term 'strange slasher noises'. Here's my definition of the term.

'Strange slasher noises'

usually in this order:

Start by watching a slashy movie or series (recommended: SGA, Supernatural, Sentinel, Highlander, SG-1 (the Jack/Danny era), LotR, Harry Potter, Lost, Fast and the Furious, anything with Paul Walker, Due South, cop shows, sci-fi shows, action movies, the evening news, sports, anything with men, guys, boys, people, animated characters, puppets, robots etc.)

1. *gasp* (an intake of breath as you see something slashy)

2. either choking (in case you had something in your mouth) or hyperventilating.

3. if in a group of other slashers, frantic gesturing. If alone, restless movement while making a tiny *meep* or *squee* sound.

4. a full blown "OMG!" or "OMGs!", followed by flapping of hands (the chicken wing effect), or a heartfelt "Fuck!" if the scene is especially slashy (i.e. not just the usual backslap/headslap/glare but actual hug/comfort/physical closeness/"I was wrong."/"I believe you." etc.).

5. more gasping, while reaching out for the remote control to rewind.

6. *squee* *meep* *eep* *squee* *breathe* *meep*

7. howling, whistling, "OMG!" or "OMGs!" Then some rolling around the couch/bed/floor.

8. if alone: reach for the keyboard/cell phone so you can share the meep. If in a group: poke at the slasher next to you and do the "Did you fucking see that?" followed by more *squee*

9. *pathetic whingeing*

10. a happy "That was so cute!" or "Fucking hot!"

Of course you can also do the 'strange slasher noises' thing while reading a book and/or a fic, but then it'll be slightly more personal, involving more imagination. Go and check the thesaurus, I believe the word is 'wank'.

That's pretty accurate, actually. I've never thought "strange slasher noises" can be broken down to bits and analyzed. Wow.

Also, watch the rolling around on bed/couch thing: I was worried you'd fall off and break something.

*grin* That's pretty accurate; I know it's what I do.

I discovered a new one tonight while watching an unbelivably slashy ep of Supernatural, though. Here's what happens when you're a slasher watching a couple being very pretty and couple-y together, but you're actually trying not to slash them in your head. I covered one eye and made small "meep" noises while chanting "not the bad place, not the bad place!" over and over.
