A Spelling Poll: 'Come' or 'Cum'?

When colloquially referring to ejaculation, how do you spell it?

With a “um” when it’s a noun. With an “ome” when I’m using it as a verb.

As in “After he came, there was cum everywhere.”

I concur.

I spell it “come” whether it’s as a verb or a noun. “Cum” just looks illiterate and old-dirty-porn-guy-ish.

Honestly, I don’t believe I’ve ever had a need to write it out.

‘Come’ looks sweet and sensual. ‘Cum’ looks nasty and exploitative.

I have no idea why I view it that way. It’s totally arbitrary.

I just don’t understand why the words would be spelled the same.

And of course cum looks nasty. That’s the point of it. It’s not a euphemism, but a vulgarism.

This.

A person comes. When a man comes, there is a release of cum.

Lou: “You know what? You’ve got spunk.”

Mary: “Well, yes. . . .”

Lou: “I hate spunk. . . .”

I came.

There is one net.erotica author who insists the past tense of “cum” is “cummed”. Drives me around the bend, and he is an otherwise reasonably good writer.

It doesn’t get much more pedantic than spelling cum as “come”. They are different words. If you do it that way, you are wrong.

As in “I cummed truckloads”? That’s stupid.

I’ll say. I can barely cum one truckload at my best, much less ‘truckloads’.

Unless I change my name to Truck :smiley:

I have more nuts than Lance Armstrong.

I would use “come” as the verb- the act of ejaculating.

I would use “cum” as the noun- what was ejaculated.

He: “Oh God! I’m about to come!”

She: “Where are we going?”

I use ‘come’ because it is the correct spelling as far as I know. I think we should accept the change to the less classy ‘cum’ because it alleviates some confusion, some sentences have very different meanings depending on which version of ‘come’ or ‘came’ was intended.

Not sure if I can accept ‘cummed’ though, it looks like really bad English.

“Cum” is just so gross. It looks illiterate and trashy. Also, I never saw it until maybe a decade ago.

“Cum” is a Latin word meaning something like “and also”, totally unrelated to the word “come”. Spelling “come” that way is bad spelling, plain and simple.
