Blowjob semantics

You'd think it'd be logical to coin the act of fellatio as a suckjob instead of a blowjob?
(in my experience there has been much more sucking than blowing )

Why then, has it become common practice to illogically call it a blowjob? Although, i must admit, that it sounds a lot better than suckjob (probably because i am used to it though ).

In physics, a while back (3-4 years in High School ), i remember doing air pressure experiments with a straw and sucking and blowing fluid. Albeit can't remember if there was any special relationship, or action reaction effect between sucking and blowing (like if you need to blow in order to suck, ). I also heard a quote somewhere, sometime, that vacuum cleaners suck because they blow , so maybe that's how the term came about. Unfortuantley a lot of my physics knowledge escapes me

Anyone know?

Because, according to my chem teacher from high school, "there is no such thing as suction!"

Honestly though...I've thought about this too...doesn't make a lot of sense, I guess, but...yeah.

When I was in like grade 6 and blowjobs were trendy with my older friends, I was so confused as to the name.

I mean, do you BLOW? or did you SUCK?

I look back, and laugh. The innocence is lost!

ok, this thread inspired a google search, which found this:

Quote:
blow job (n) an act of fellatio.
This term, now widespread in English-speaking countries, spread from the USA in the 1960s. A puzzling misnomer to many, to blow in this context is probably a euphemism for ejaculate, a usage occasionally recorded in the 1950s. This may itself be influenced by the there she blows of whaling cliche. An alternative and equally plausible derivation of blow job is from the black jazz musicians hip talk expression blow meaning play (an instrument). This term probably caught on in Britain and Australia simply because there was no well-known alternative in existence.(1)
seems plausible.

Puzzle solved.

I myself, do not like the term blowjob.
Id think Id rather someone tell me to suck their dick than, hey, baby, give me a blowjob.

Maybe its just me.

I've also wondered about "blow". I didn't think about the blow your load thing, so that must be it. Ofcourse, we could just all use fellatio.

I like to call them Hummers and I really agree with Ace_O_Spades...getting them is so much better than calling them blowjobs, hummers, felatio, or what ever else. Oooops it's 11:30!! Time for my hummer...
