The History of.....CUM

So I was thinking of one of my favorite canceled hbo drama's " Deadwood" which mixed profanity and iambic pentameter so eloquently. Anyhoo it also involved the owner of a whore house and all that entailed, and I got to thinking...Did they use the word "cum" back then? How long has cum been used to mean orgasm? What is its entomology?

Would Richie Cunningham have used it? Or Fonzie?

What was said by mongers and ladies of the night a hundred years ago?

" Darlin that milk dragons 'bout to spit!"

" Don't you be squirtin that jelly juice on my hair !"

Of course the Fonz would just go, " Ehhhhh..."
Etymology of the word "Cum"

Cum
verb and noun, by 1973, apparently a variant of the sexual sense of come that originated in pornographic writing, perhaps first in the noun sense. This "experience sexual orgasm" slang meaning of come (perhaps originally come off) is attested from 1650, in "Walking In A Meadowe Greene," in a folio of "loose songs" collected by Bishop Percy.

I like calling it pecker snot.
I cant really verify this but I think the first cum shot was in the Garden of Eden, but I don't really have all the details on exactly what went down that night.

Ok, that's good. Thank you! I think you are correct and obviously a student of the Book. Let's get together soon to discuss some of the finer details of the book of Genesis you lil hottie!
Thanks for the spelling correction BSB, wow 1650. Makes you wonder how long " felching" has been used!

so are you saying that God blew Adam or Adam blew God, then they realized that a woman could be doing that instead (and probably do it better)??
so, out came the rib and *poof* there was Eve?
