I started a thread about how much I hate the word Cum and it got deleted

I don't know why.

It was quite an interesting discussion.

I maintain that I hate the word cum and I'm not sure when 'come' to orgasm, to arrive, to reach one's sexual destination got bastardised to the really base and crude word cum, it's redolent of grubby blokes, it's seedy, it's horrible.

Anyhoo, I'm not sure why I was deleted, I think maybe one poster thought I was a seedy bloke that wanted women to discuss that word.

Promise I'm not!

It was an interesting discussion up to the point of deletion.

"if you read back have already mea culpa'd."

Must have been in invisible ink, but Ok, discussion closed.

Maybe she pronounced it with a silent "I was wrong"?

I said, and I quote;

'Hey, I take it on the chin if it's true, but I'm pretty sure I'm not arrogant when it comes to accents.'.

Well exactly

I might go ask my DH how it's pronounced. I'm mean he's Black Country so God knows what he would come out with, but still my husbands opinion would probably carry more weight than mine...

Ah well
If he's from the Black Country he'll be well used to cum

Blimey, you're never going to let that one go are you?

I think we should all move on!

I absolutely am a lover. I mean, I was just reacting to a very foolish comment from you.

But ya, carry on if it thrills ya!

No, you are just lacking in reading comprehension.

Which I guess is probably not your fault.

It’s usually guys cumming on us to be fair.

I don't mind the word. I like it when my partner makes me cum or tells me to cum over and over. It's a good word for me now associated with female orgasm and pleasure

Are you wilfully misunderstanding or just getting your jollies?

I hate it too @Tetsuo

And come/cum sound exactly the same in my bland home counties accent. Confused Also hum, bum, sum, tum etc.

SpecialCharacters · 22/01/2024 21:26

I can’t remember a time when the word wasn’t ‘cum’, or a time when anyone used the word ‘come’ to mean achieving an orgasm.

I certainly remember childishly sniggering about adding cumin to food in cookery class, in school in the 90s.

SpecialCharacters · 22/01/2024 21:33

I suppose it’s probably regional but my experience is that the word ‘cum’ has been popular usage for both male ejaculate and the act of orgasming for at least 25 years.

Flufferblub · 22/01/2024 21:58

@Tetsuo Oh sorry, I must have misunderstood. I thought you didn't like the word cum or something?

Speak for yourself. I get the giggles at “the Holy Spirit will come upon her” every Christmas even though I find that season so difficult I was happy to have spent it in hospital this year. Please note the spelling.

I suppose "Oh come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant" could go a whole different way...

I totally agree, but then I am North-Walian so I'm guessing my opinion on the correct pronunciation for Cwm doesn't count according to the OP

After all what do 2 welsh womens opinions count for when the OP can ask her husband instead 🙄

What would be helpful would be to comment on whether the OP is right in what she says about Welsh accents? Is cwm pronounced differently in different parts of Wales? Was the first recorded speaker form the North?
If OP is right then it is bizarre, rude and divisive to label her arrogant.

Yes,, there are different Welsh accents (just as there are different English accents,) , we had a few lessons on it in my Welsh class.

Of course there are different accents, regional variations and different words for the same thing across Wales. It's not like it's one town.

The arrogant part is the English OP all over the thread first telling people how cwm is pronounced and then when a Welsh poster points out that's not how they pronounce it dismissing that opinion as "that's a north-walian accent" as if somehow North Wales isn't part of Wales and their pronunciation is somehow irrelevant.

Never mind the fact that there isn't even a "North-Walian" accent, people from Wrexham sound totally different to people from people from Bangor or Bala or Rhyl.

Had the OP originally said that some people in a specific part of Wales pronounce Cwm in a that way that would be different (although I, like another poster have lived with and worked with people from various parts of Wales and never heard it pronounced that way). But instead she decided to tell people that was THE way it was pronounced. But if you want to label someone bizarre, rude and divisive I would look to the poster who dismissed a pronunciation as "North-Walian" as if that somehow made it not a "welsh" pronunciation. That's the stuff that's divisive.

Gwenhwyfar · 23/01/2024 20:13

"Is cwm pronounced differently in different parts of Wales? "

No, it's not, which I've already written. I have even provided a VIDEO of south Walians pronouncing 'cwm'? How the hell is that not good enough for you.

"Was the first recorded speaker form the North?"

Yes, but that is not relevant because of my answer to your question above.

"If OP is right then it is bizarre, rude and divisive to label her arrogant."

But we've already told you she's not right and it is quite arrogant to tell Welsh speakers they are wrong about their own language.
I can't believe you'd do that to French people, for example.
