Fandom Rant: Come is NOT a three letter word

[themostepotente]

begin rant

...


Come is NOT a three letter word.

It never has been.

It never will be.

It is neither sexy nor hot spelled with three letters.

It makes the author luk liek n ilitarit fule.

I would rather squeeze out a gigantic shit sideways after having a broken glass and tabasco enema than look at the word 'come' spelled C-U-M.

People -- just fucking DON'T.

/end rant

I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE. It just looks so degraded-porn-site esque when written down. Blergh.

Oh bless you! I just cringe when I see it spelled that way.

[gmth.livejournal.com]

Except that for some of us, it is. See, I was raised in an area where "come" was a verb and "cum" was a noun. I've grown out of that, because so many people seem to hate it, but seeing "come" used as a noun knocks me out of fic to this very day, even my own fics.

And I have to say it would be nice, just once, to see one of your entries not phrased as a rant. Just sayin'.

[ladynutmeg.livejournal.com]

Amen. Something that needed to be said. And said over and over and over and over again until people stop using it.

[dalhessian.livejournal.com]

Preach on!

*dreamy sigh* I love your rants darling...just love them. And proud to say I have spelled the word 'come' as 'cum' and what is wrong with Reaching her climax or peak? or the wave crashed over her as she clawed at his back? Or she reached her fulfillment? lolol...I should stop. Years of reading cheesy romance novels and it all starting to surface...

**Hugs** :-)

DAMN STRAIGHT!

Cum is a Latin preposition. And I'd reallyreally like to be able to use it that way without people snickering.

[lupin-spirit.livejournal.com]

Amen.

[kate-tur.livejournal.com]

Ditto.

[iibnf.livejournal.com]

True... and yet I'd rather see that than have HP writers using 'cookies'. I guess, if they had them cum on a cookie, they could kill us both!

*flings a beernut at you for the sheer fuck of it*

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

*bows*

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Same here!

[starrysummer.livejournal.com]

Totally agreed.

Well, except for maybe the part about the broken glass and gigantic sideways shit... because... ouch.

[tipgardner.livejournal.com]

Though I agree with the lack of sexiness to the word, it's been used with that spelling at least since the 19th century in England (along with the just as sexy, "spunk").

o.O

*throws back with some vegetables*

Haha.

I feel kind of the same way about 'arse.' I don't particularly like the word and use it anyway, because it's more widely accepted it seems.

This is a 'speak your mind' journal, Gina. No need for smaller font. I could probably use a 'hey, Penny, shut the fuck up already' now and again. *G*

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Spunk. Bleurgh :P

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Ah, you get my point then. *winks*

[tarie.livejournal.com]

Completely agree.

And whatever crack you're smoking, plz to be sharing.

*dying of laughter*

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Cookies? *arches a brow*

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Even if 'one' person stops using the word 'cum,' I'll feel vindicated.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

*passes the crackpipe*

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

I should start my own church :P
