OMG! I was thinking the same thing recently. I was reading a fic the other and they used ministrations at least 10 times on one page. Seems to have become almost "fad-ish" because it suddenly seems like that word is popping up everywhere!

Exactly! And sometimes, when I skimming and not really reading a fic, I see it as 'menstruations' and I have to go back and re-read to make sure I'm not seeing things. I am, but still. Lay off the ministrations!

I see it as 'menstruations' -- LOL! Totally.

Oy, yes. And "better access" - I used to see it all the time, but now I'm wondering if it was just a fad as well. So annoying.

My two are 'nemesis' and 'access', especially when the latter is combined with for better. Aaarrgh!
