Totally Silly Farmboy Poll

Okay, this is totally silly, but also somewhat real. ;p I apparently spell "farmboy" all over the board. So instead of me just deciding on one and one alone, I thought I'd find out what everybody *else* likes! One word or two? Capitalized or not? Situational? Or do you just really hate the term at all and would rather not ever see it in a fic ever again?

I use farmboy as one word (hmm...obviously), however, whether it's capitalized or not depends on how it's used - kind of like mom/dad. If it's being used in place of Clark's name, then capitalize. If it's being used to describe him, don't. That's been my rule anyway. I'll be interested in what other's think.

What is TICKY?

I definitely think it's one word, and uncapitalized since it's a sort of generic noun. Like cowboy.

Though to be honest, I sort of hate it :) Which may make me a jerk, I think I've used it at least once myself in fic. Oh well! I'm ok with being a jerk :)

To be completely honest, whenever I hear/see/talk about Clark Kent (which isn't very often any more) my very first thought is "that's not fifteen". Because when I think of Clark I think of the 15 year old Clark of Season 1-2 and how much Lex wanted to hit that and didn't, thinking of his under-age-ness, and I always want to yell at that SweetThoughtful!Lex that "that (meaning Clark) is not 15". B/c seriously, how many 15 year olds look like that?
