A discussion thread that asks: Where the F**** did "cum" come from?

I especially love finding out that the Wikkipedia entry on is not only not worksafe, it also has a video demonstrating the male ejaculation ( Read more... )

You suck, but you can barely write about kissing? Talk about a separation between personal life and writing life!

which reminds me... next time I see you (which, okay, likely to be in about 18 months, but still...) remind me to tell you the jolly rancher story. I think you'll get a kick out of it.

You know? Given the conversation in this room, my imagination is going a little wild here. :-)

(Meant to say: Thanks for the Xmas card! I'm very bad about sending them out. So I'm still working on Christmas fic instead.)

The "This article may require cleanup" at the top of the Wikipedia page cracked me up.

Generally, I find the presence of the word "cum" to be an indicator that the PWP it's in *is* hilariously bad. All the classy PWPs use "come." I mean, I enjoy a good badfic as much as anyone, but come on! (she said, not really intending to pun but doing it anyway)

I agree. "Cum" is eye-scrappingly (is that even a word?) bad on the best of days. It always makes me giggle like I'm 12.

I'm was talking about replacing "come" with "cum" wholesale so you get confuzzled on what's dirty and what isn't. You know. BAD FIC!

Yes. I am being very silly tonight.

You spend a message talking about cum... and end on the note that you suck?

The Urban Dictionary can be a hoot, too. I can get lost in some of those comment threads for hours.

Yeah, some of these pages are dangerous, especially when you're avoiding your Word documents.
