The Cunnilingus Gerund

What is the Gerund of Cunnilingus? One who performs cunnilingus is a "cunnilinguist". But to perform Cunnilingus is...what? cunnilinguiling? Cunnilinguising?

Fellatio is fellation. So one may be "fellating". The wikipedia page has a nice Etymology Section:

The English noun fellatio comes from fellātus, which in Latin is the past participle of the verb fellāre, meaning to suck. In fellatio the -us is replaced by the -io, an alternate form of the suffix -ion. The -ion or -io ending is used in English to create nouns from Latin adjectives and indicate a state or action wherein the Latin verb is being, or has been, performed. Further English words have been created based on the same Latin root. A person who performs fellatio upon another may be termed a fellator (or cocksucker, a term which is usually considered obscene). Because of Latin's gender based declension, this word may be restricted by some English speakers to describing a male. The equivalent female term is fellatrix.
However, there is no in-depth (ha, ha) Etymology provided for Cunnilingus and rather we have simply this:
The term comes from an alternative Latin word for the vulva (cunnus) and from the Latin word for tongue (lingua).
Sexism? I think so.

So, what would the Gerund be? "I am presently cunnilinguiling", "I am presently cunnilingusing"?

If you're wondering what brought this up (ha ha) I was writing this:
"pragmatism fellating, Empiricism cunnilinguiling,"

And realized that I don't know what the proper Gerund form of Cunnilingus is.

It depends of the usage.
I am presently cunnilingum. Would, in my take, do the trick. I mean, since you're using the word in latin, you might as well derive it as it were in Latin. In the Active Case, the derivation would be "um". At least I think so, I never had the example with Cunnilingus in my latin classes. Damn Jesuits!

My latin professor in undergrad said that we can't use the latin system to discern how to say latin words in English. His example was hippopotamus.

"The plural of hippopotamus is not 'hippopotamae'. The plural is 'hippopotamuses', because we are speaking ENGLISH. We do not talk of seeing the hippopotamum, or speak of our hippopotamorum. We speak English. So, hippopotamuses."

So, I think, that would influence our interpretation. It depends on if we're keeping it "latiny" or if we have to run the latin through our English slaughterhouse of dumb.

FF said...

I dunno. If that was the case we would say "campus" and " campuses" but its "campus" and " campi", right?

Unknown said...

That is actually a bad example. The plural of octopus is octopi and the plural of cactus is cacti, but campus remains campuses.

FF said...

Kyle, I am not positive about that. But I am pretty sure that in Latin it's campus - campi. I'll check it up.

FF said...

From Wiktionary:
Usage notes

* The Latinate plural form campi is sometimes used, particularly with respect to colleges or universities; however, it is sometimes frowned upon. By contrast, the common plural form campuses is universally accepted.

You were right. :)

I'm fairly certain that the present indicative for cunnlingus is "mmf mmmf mmrmmf".

Ma17 wins.

FF said...

I stand corrected.

Roscoe said...

Alex Dayton says "Cunnlingering".. which has a bit of wit to it..

But that fucker thinks Megatron is generally a tank, so what the hell does he know?

David A. Martin said...

Perhaps it is "cunnilingating"
