cum v come

[Dar~]

He/she is cumming
he/she came
they came
they are cumming
They/he/she/it came, will cum, are cumming

 

[dreampilot79]

He/she is cumming
he/she came
they came
they are cumming
They/he/she/it came, will cum, are cumming

TY Dar.. I couldn't find that in any english book!!!!! damn prudish english teachers!!

Yer right, that one is awkward. The very, very, very few times, which I think was once, that I had to write it in a past tense like that, I think I used a whole different way of saying it. Something like, "...He got his cookies yesterday..." or something to that affect.

Halo... isn't that cheating? avoiding the issue and all?

I take a lot on myself, but I never feel called upon to build a history of English usage in my writings. I suppose I'm missing out. The 2023 edition of the OED might cite my porn as the first published definitive past tense, if I boldly solved these quandaries.

Or maybe it's really futile. Deliberately starting a new word is an uphill battle. Here at Lit, we have "plot bunny," which as far as I know is ours alone. The difficulty is, nobody is real sure what it means, even here.

My German prof tried to start a vogue for his own new word, ausgetuckert, each time he returned home to Lübeck. It means "drunk off your ass," he says. But it has yet to catch on.

I have wifty. As in, "What a wifty pen!" It was coined to have a slang word to use with my daughter's friends, one that wouldn't date me. Seventeen people use it now. Whoopie.

Spurted his manload isn't an option?

Damn....

 

[cantdog]

Cum - cumming - spurted his manload

The principal parts of the verb to cum

Nah.

There's a Welsh word cwm, pronounced coom. It means a valley between two spurs of a mountain.

Just thought I'd throw that into the mix.

I like to think of people cwming.

--Zoot

Sounds like a perfect word to describe cleavage to me.

"her bra created a beautiful cwm that fascinated me."

"It came"? Sure way to get the story rejected I hear ....


In the first/last story I submitted here I used "cum" because several paragraphs also used some form of "come" (approach) in the same paragraph and I didn't want to change it (because I was lazy).

Softie -- coming here cums wherever

Well in the non human category it came may well be warranted.

coming

Can't stand 'cum' as a word myself. It sounds illiterate. It really detracts from the mood.

So I use 'come' and rarely at that. So many other words that can be used.

I totally agree with this. But I'm from the UK. Is it a trans-Atlantic thing, I wonder?

Wellllllll.. I'm from one side of the pond.. and my wife is from the other (although not from an english speaking country)... and we NEVER cum or come.... sigh...

It does rather seem to be the same to me.. but I could stand a refresher.

To get serious... both new words and the correct spelling of words are established by acceptance (by whom i'm not quite sure). We are dealing with a word with an establishment stigma.... therefore it is unlikely to be documented in the dictionary... THEREFORE.... it is up to us to accept it.

My assertation is that since the word "cum" is understood by us all... and is accepted by us all..... it is correct. HOWEVER... we all accept and understand "come" as well. Therefore.. since both are understood and both are accepted... they constitute acceptable alternate spellings....

We are then left to deal with our personal feelings about the two spellings.

Fair comment and I agree with what you say. I still can't quite accept "cummed" though, because I'm sure that "cum" can be both noun and verb and if a verb, then in the past tense "I've cum" I think reads better than "I cummed"

I wish you the best of luck in your enterprise. I myself have been trying to popularize a word I coined, "fundreck," for the kind of stuff, the Innisbrook Christmas cards, candy and wrapping paper that often your kid is pressured into selling as fundraisers in school. (It's for fundraising and most of it's dreck).

As for the question? Cum is OK for a noun, but looks terrible as a verb.
