Important point of order: It’s spelled “come.” The origin is that one arrives at a (sexual) destination. There’s been an unfortunate trend, spread by illiterate pornographers among others, to spell it the same as the Latin word for “with.” ---

> [@OurLordPeace](#): > > Important point of order: It’s spelled “come.” The origin is that one arrives at a (sexual) destination. There’s been an unfortunate trend, spread by illiterate pornographers among others, to spell it the same as the Latin word for “with.” I’ve thought of this before, and, no pun intended, came to exactly the opposite conclusion. The completion of many verbs often becomes noun-ified; in this case it immediately distinguishes the sexual meaning from, I don’t know, “the arrival,” in the locative sense. Plus, using “cumpilation” in searches make perfect sense as a unique neologism. ---
