Yeah, I'm assuming it's a "fashion that has taken over in the last 10-20 years that completely passed me and everyone else I know* by".

(And then I realized I had to qualify that because I really have NOT sat around slinging that level of TMI with my friends lately, so what do I know? However, since a bunch of us who read JF wank comms get together on Sundays for TV anyway, it's entirely possible that tomorrow is going to involve a LOT of previously-unslung TMI. The guys in the group will be thrilled, I am sure.)
