OH MY GOD!!! I CAN"T BELEIVE WHAT I JUST SAW!!!! I'm following the online Soccernet Commentary live of the Brazil vs. Argentina Confederation Cup Final and this is what pops up on the screen. 88 mins Robihno streaking forward finds Ronaldinno who hits it to Renato and his cross cum shot is nearly prodded home by the out-stretched boot of Adriano. Excellent play. 87 mins I'm not sure if this guy accidentally worte what was on his mind or was being funny but this might possibly be a huge blunder on the part of ESPN if this guy's comments turn into indecency complaints. I don't know how popular this site is but I'm shocked!
Oh man, you have to be kidding. Among it's more vulgar uses, cum also means "togther with" and is used that way quite commonly in the Queen's English. And Soccernet is an English site owned by ESPN. Sachin
I vaguely remember that from Latin class in H.S. But I recall the pronunciation being different so it did not rhyme with "come." More like "coom" as I recall.
it was actually in text during the live online text commentary. I beleive the guy is british by the certain words he uses. I had no idea that the british use the word "cum" in other ways. I was with a british girl once many years ago except it was in the same way you an I do!!!! Mods, feel free to mofiy the thread title to " ESPN's Cum Shot!"
Interesting I would take this thread seriously.... If it weren't for all the "worte"s and "right"s used by previous posters. hence since there is no grade for grammar or comprehension here on bigsoccer, than nor should others be judged for what they write, or right.
This reminds me of Beavis & Butthead. Straight from Meriam-Webster Dictionary: "Main Entry: cum Pronunciation: 'kum, 'k&m Function: conjunction Etymology: Latin, with; akin to Latin com- -- more at CO- : along with being : AND -- used to form usually hyphenated phrases <a credible mining camp elder-cum-publican -- G.
