in the bigger picture there is a percentage of the fandom and fringe who wouldn't be caught dead using words like yiff, scritchies, murrfles ect. as a part of their day-to-day lexicon. i myself have never uttered the term unironically in the same vein as "LOL". to me they sound like baby talk. i'm an adult with a sufficiently robust vocabulary that i can express the point i want to fornicate without uttering the Y word. i noticed the prevalence of the use of "yiff" as a colloquial expression within the fandom seemed to start to taper off about 10 years ago +/-. there still seem to be its diehard adherents, but i guess much like with fashion there are folks who're never going to be pried away from their bedazzlers and suede fringe.
