On the "only use english words in english fanfic summaries, don't say yaoi say slash" argument:
English randomly nicks words from other languages all the time. That's part of what it is. Every country that we'veconquered visited, we took some words with us when we left. When the French were here, they left half of their volcabulary behind. So did the Romans.
Does anyone call you us for 'fangirl french' when you use the word 'pork'? Hey, 'pig meat' is the original way it was in English! No wait, 'meat' was French too.
How about most of fandom, with the German word 'angst' (Ich habe angst fur... I'm afraid of)? We (or rather, you - I've never seen it used in fandom-comtext before the internet) use it as a tag word akin to 'emo'. How come that doesn't get you blown up at?
