Re: Misusing the Word 'Cum'
Mwa haha.... like most Singaporeans, I was quite comfortable about using that word. And then I come (no pun intended
) to America and learn about its other meaning
. I looked up google and found out it has dual meanings.
cum1
ko͝om,kəm/
preposition
combined with; also used as (used to describe things with a dual nature or function).
"a study-cum-bedroom"

My pet peeve. Stick it to Latin phrases please. Using it with regular English words will just end with hilarity.
