Yes, this does belong in S&A because it has to do with sex and the way we all talk about it. As I've always learned, to come is a verb. It's something you do. You come. When you're done, you would say you came. Cum shoots out of a guy when he comes. It has no past tense form because it is a noun. Therefore "cummed" is never a word. And "I made her cum" makes no sense. So why all the confusion?

Both links say you're wrong. It seems that "cum" is a slang term.

I assume you're referring to the written word, since the words are more or less homonyms when spoken.

Isn't just typical internet bastardization of English, like "u" instead of "you"? Or do you mean something else?

Your second link proves she's right.

It says "come" is an intransitive verb and cum is ejaculate, a noun.

You're slipping Gus. I figured you were better with language than that. Or are you more of a math kid?

Variant of come.

Vulgar slang isn't a difintion. That's like saying for there should be a page because it's slang as well. http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=pwned

Nope, don't see any.

"Cum" is a bastardization of "come", which was used as slang for the gooey surprise that comes from hard work in the bedroom.

... Can you not read? It's slang, as in, it's not a real word. It works the same with gay meaning homosexual.

Ah poo, this isn't the right forum for a debate of this type.

Cum also has Latin origins. Ever hear the phrase "Magna Cum Laude", or heard anyone say something like "It's like Action-cum-soap opera" in a book review, or something? Just something to note. Heh, I like Latin. I have "Aut viam inveniam aut facium" tattooed on me, even. I'm serious. Considering another one somewhere else.

I think you're just being a wise guy, but just to say so, that "cum" is pronounced differently and means "with", I think.

This should probably go to Cunning Linguists...
