    I assume you mean ejective k, rather plosive. /k/ is a plosive/stop by definition! On a side note, ejective k actually appears in some English dialects at the ends of words. If you listen out for it, you'll probably hear it at some point.

    Yes, lol. I actually wrote explosive, because I learned from someone with a shaky grip on English terms (or they were maybe just being metaphoric and not intending to use linguistic jargon), but I then reread it and realized that was nuts, so I changed it without actually thinking about what I was writing.

    But yeah, ejective k is a bitch to pronounce if you hadn’t been previously exposed to it. I took a very long time to be able to produce the sound at all naturally, but I do think it made me better in bed.
