Please never use, "',' he ejaculated" ever again. I use it as an example of the worst dialogue tag ever in order to make my class laugh.

The entire point of the dialogue tag is to make itself invisible and get out of the reader's way - if they are noticed and pull the reader out of the story, they've failed.

Keep it simple: "she said," "they replied," or, "he asked."

Thanks for the hilarious reply. The origin of the worst ever tag ejaculated may be Conan Doyle; poor Sherlock Holmes ejaculated more than John Holmes. Making your class laugh more-or-less mirrors my decision to drag it back into the public domain, to evoke a cringe and try to make that old groan work as my very first tagline. Thanks for noticing.

Hah! Fair enough then - you definitely earned an audible groan out of me.
