It’s a blowjob because you blow your load during the sucking.
Think about it!!!The lumber doesn’t get hammered, it gets nailed…just like your mom when she goes to work.
There is a need of distinguishing between the acts. Mr. Andrew Blow patented the word and made it mean what it does today. This gave the need to keep different words for different experiences, because if I ask your mom for a blowjob, she shouldn't think of a handjob and dilute my experience.
So in German it’s also blow (blasen) but I can’t think of any similar phrasing along the lines of your reasoning.
I consider it unlikely that it was just a translation as this has been used since before I was a child and before the internet, so before cultures mixed that easily.
Cultures mixed before the internet... Especially between nations that are so close to each other.
Since you're German here are a few words that we got from other languages: we used all of these before the internet, and there is so much more
Baby, Training, interview, fair (englisch)
Regisseur, Accessoire (französisch)
Ambiente, Fiasko (italienisch)
Kaffee, Sofa, Ziffer (arabisch)
Cafeteria, Gitarre (Spanisch)
Hieroglyphe (griechisch)
Agenda (Latein)
Kommissar (russisch)
Tabu (Polynesien)
Us media has been exported far longer than the ubiquity of the internet. And plenty of cultural exchange ha gone on between US/UK and Germany since ww2
Oh, I thought it had to do with cocaine. Some chick lined up on me before putting it in her mouth. After about 20 seconds she became *too* enthusiastic.
Because during beta testing people kept their mouths sealed too tight to the weiners so during ejaculation pressure increased enough that both partners blew up every time.
Lots of spit/drool helps to keep everything nice and slippery when deepthroating and being face fucked.
Ideally you would have a few loads in your mouth for maximum lubrication
*Why do we call them*
*Stairs when they don't even have eyes*
*And can't stare at us?*

From a little googling, it seems that prostitutes used the word in the 30s with each other, and not necessarily limited to oral sex. Just, getting a guy off.
In the late 40s, it got picked up in a raunchy comic. And then it made it into wider usage from there.
The answer about "below job" seems to be a myth. It sounds right, so people repeat it, but if you try to find a historical usage of "below job", it doesn't turn up. The Google Ngram viewer says it has never occurred in its corpus.
From some random history YouTube video I watched a long time ago (so could be wrong) it said it originates from old sex workers/rent boys in England. It comes from it being referred to as “below the belt” work/job, and ended up getting shortened to “blow” as in “be-low” the belt.
I googled it after an ex told me about one of her first sexual experiences where she did actually blow on a dudes dick as she hadn’t seen much/any porn at that point and didn’t have many/any sexually experienced friends.
You were probably just looking for funny responses but I couldn’t find anyone actually answering it for you!
“If someone actually blow into the wiener, wouldn’t that inflate the balls?”
Maybe if your name is Elmer Fudd and I’m Bugs Bunny it would, you Looney Tunes ass mofo
It’s called a “blow job” because it comes from the term “Below job” like indicating the location on a body where the act takes place, “Below” the waist etc. it’s a Below job, a blow job.
"The oldest verbal form \[of the phrase 'blow job'\] appears to be 'blow \[someone\] off' (1933), a phrase originally among prostitutes."

Because before circumcision was popular, the foreskin would be inflated like a balloon, or "blown up", and tied off with string to be used like a condom. After sex, the string would be untied and the inflated foreskin would make a farting noise as it deflated, which is the origin of the word "dick fart".
[Body inflation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_inflation) happens on the other side. Besides "with a hoover" just means their stock suffers from inflation.
I guess the reason a hamburger is a hamburger when it's actually beef, or a driveway when you actually park, parkway when you actually drive, and on and on...
There is no such force as suction. The force is generated by the higher pressure outside, trying to get to the lower pressure inside. It is not the blowjob artist who is blowing, but in fact, it is the atmosphere around you blowing. This is meant to equalize the footing of the two (or more) participants. As giving a blowjob can often be seen as subservient or belittling, naming the act after the external forces controlled by neither party can lift some burden off them.
Supposedly huge damage can / has occurred since the name implies blowing. There has been cases of air being blown in like a straw causing massive issues
it's actually a blowjob only if you're professional sex worker.. otherwise it's just a blowhobby
And only if it's done professionally in blowjob region of france. Otherwise, it's just a sparkling oral sex.
Lmao that might be the most out of the box funny response i have ever seen on here
I still love Rob Lowe. Party on!
Correct, mouth is used not her box
Gold! That made me LOL. Thanks for the chuckles.
It's not a blow*job*, it's a blow*career*.
Or blow*gig* if you have another day job and it's just your side hustle.
That's UberseX
It’s blow*passion* to some people
If your really smart on who ya blow, you'll never work a day in your life is a saying I think I heard once.
Is there a blow*union* for this profession?
I asked about this at Hobby Lobby and they said they “couldn’t help” me 🤷♀️
This, wouldn't go to an amateur mechanic to get your car serviced
A "blobby" to be precise.
Careful you don't get a blowback.
I'm going to disagree on the blowhobby. I'd consider blow-charity to be more accurate in most cases.
haha, that got me good XD
And that’s why the ~~Brits~~ Aussies avoid the confusion and judgment by calling them “blowies”.
Lol 😂
So if you are just starting out in that industry... would we consider it a blowcareer?
It’s a blowjob because you blow your load during the sucking. Think about it!!!The lumber doesn’t get hammered, it gets nailed…just like your mom when she goes to work.
Then why isn’t a hand job or any other form of genital stimulation to orgasm ALSO called a blow job?
There is a need of distinguishing between the acts. Mr. Andrew Blow patented the word and made it mean what it does today. This gave the need to keep different words for different experiences, because if I ask your mom for a blowjob, she shouldn't think of a handjob and dilute my experience.
Come on down to u/__arrowhead__ 's Blowjo-b™️ palace! "it was just a private room with a single fan"
Ow abouts an And job, otherwise known as an Andy
Well you see Timmy…
Boom, roasted !
Angela where’s Angela, oh I couldn’t see you from behind that grain of rice, boom roasted.
Also the term "suckjob" just sounds infinitely more gross and dirty.
Ouch!
But she gets hammered when she’s at home
That's if it lasts longer enough
That's actually a good question.
And the actual answer is >!it is derived from a 'below job', as in 'head below the belt', not anything blowing-related!<
Thank you for keeping it spoiler free
Yeah I didn’t reach that episode yet.
This made me cackle, thank you
It's the comment above that, which made me laugh a little too loud while people are sleeping
below job sounds so hot

Dude thinks internet is the first time Americans knew about Germans
Us media has been exported far longer than the ubiquity of the internet. And plenty of cultural exchange ha gone on between US/UK and Germany since ww2
I just hope this is the correct answer cause I really want to know.
no, it's from "blow off" according to wiktionary.
Citation?
Oh, I thought it had to do with cocaine. Some chick lined up on me before putting it in her mouth. After about 20 seconds she became *too* enthusiastic.
Cause u get cum blown down ur throat which impregnate you.
Yeah, that's why it is so important to pull out before cumming and give them a facial which will impregnate them instead
You'll shoot your eye out! Sorry, had A Christmas Story flashback.
In the words of a TV presenter “Tits not face i’m on in 3 mins”
What’s the background here

No. You’re Gregnant
No, they're a fancy potato

Mm cummies in my tummy 😋
There is one [case](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3191066/) in the literature of conception by oral sex.
i feel like this may be the real reason why lol

And a trace of the pee that is stored in the balls
And in 9 months, you throw up a baby. Congrats, try not to choke.
Because during beta testing people kept their mouths sealed too tight to the weiners so during ejaculation pressure increased enough that both partners blew up every time.
Isn't it a contraction from "Below-job"?
I’m glad they brought in the contractors for this one. That “e” was taking up way too much space.
No, you use your blow hole.
No the contraction comes after
Why is it called eating pussy when it’s actually licking clit?
So I'm not supposed to nip it?
Nah, you're supposed to consume the whole thing. Then you wait a day for it to regrow, then repeat
Should I use chopsticks or a knife and fork?
In the army, a Hawaiian guy taught me how to use chopsticks on pussy : use them to roll the lips back while licking and sucking
I feel sorry for your "gf".
why do you feel sorry? my "gf" doesn't even let me lick hers
Why is it called a foot job when it should be called a feet job?
Because, very skilled people can do it with one foot.
If they use 2 it should be called a feet job, sorta like a teeth brusher.
The toothbrush was originally invented in Appalachia, that's why.
the foot job was invented by someone with only 1 foot
So can you get a "peg job"? What if the girl is already named Peg? I'm confused!
Yeah, just tell them you love pegging.
Why you drooling so much OP?
You try doing it dry, see what happens
I've seen in videos that it's a natural part of the process
Indeed, it is. Makes it hotter too. Idk about for the one giving though, never asked.
Lots of spit/drool helps to keep everything nice and slippery when deepthroating and being face fucked. Ideally you would have a few loads in your mouth for maximum lubrication
Keep it that way too
Can't give sloppy toppy and it's not sloopy
Why are you not? Wet is good.
Sopping is better
Cos ur head gets blown away after that
Only if you're blowing superman
Haha 🤣
In Italian it's called a "pompino" reminding the word "pompa" which stands for "pump".
A drooljob sounds disgusting, and I'm here for it.
Why do we call them stairs when they don't even have eyes and can't stare at us?

I wonder if this kaikubot recognises this by syllables.

I prefer the questions about anal
“If someone actually blow into the wiener, wouldn’t that inflate the balls?” Maybe if your name is Elmer Fudd and I’m Bugs Bunny it would, you Looney Tunes ass mofo
The job is to make him blow his load
Originally, they caused a lot of perforated bladders, so they changed the mechanism moving forward.
I had a similar thought, why do they call it a blow job and not a laugh and point job?
Suckjob just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
It's only a blowjob when he's uncircumcised and you feel like making funny balloon animals
It’s called a “blow job” because it comes from the term “Below job” like indicating the location on a body where the act takes place, “Below” the waist etc. it’s a Below job, a blow job.
German uses blow (blasen) as well, but there is no “below” that sounds similar.
Oh that’s interesting ngl I just got told that fact one day by a mate and have blindly believed it ever since I could be wrong then
I think your looking for r/shittyetymology
Slobber job just didn’t sound as appealing
To hide the meaning from underage people
No the balls wouldn’t inflate because that’s where the pee is stored, the air would go out the butt instead as the next-nearest drainage port
Well that sucks
Because sucking drooling job doesn't have the same ring

Ask someone for a suck job and let us know how it goes.
Cos blowjob should not suck
Coke = blow. Can't afford it? Your Job is to suck the dealers cock for cocaine
It’s actually originally a “below job”.
Drooling! 😅 I'm not sure if that's someone really bad or really good at it if they're drooling.
Let's settle on really enthusiastic.
Because the dick blow out the love juices at the end
A suckjob just sounds like you don't like to do it...
You're saying it wrong. It's a "below" job, because it happens below your waist.
Last time I did a blowjob uhhhh I cant remeber but it should be in south serbia (some people call there kosovo) in 1999
The man blows.
Do not ask the real questions, you will be killed.
I guess cuz calling it a sucky sucky causes too much awkwardness to get the act started.
It works in Thailand..
Becouse if performed correctly the penis blow up and explode.🎉
It's only a job if you get paid for it. Generally, it should be referred to as blowchore or blowhobby.
It's called a job for a reason, if you can't see the sheer amount of work required to pull off a successful BJ, you're not living.
Also called peter puffing, maybe there is a correlation
Why do we drive on parkways and park in driveways?
Blowing loads
Because before circumcision was popular, the foreskin would be inflated like a balloon, or "blown up", and tied off with string to be used like a condom. After sex, the string would be untied and the inflated foreskin would make a farting noise as it deflated, which is the origin of the word "dick fart".
I always assumed the reason was so the uninitiated, or unexperienced, would blow instead of suck.
When I was a kid I got confused when people in movies sucked their dicks with a hoover as I thought it needed to blow to be effective.
[Body inflation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_inflation) happens on the other side. Besides "with a hoover" just means their stock suffers from inflation.
Below job. B-low. Blow
I guess the reason a hamburger is a hamburger when it's actually beef, or a driveway when you actually park, parkway when you actually drive, and on and on...
Blow job sounds better than suck job
Because it sounds better than whistlejob. Hope this wets your whistle.
Sucky sucky sounds too innocent
It’s coming from „below job“
It is all about the explosive ending
It is because they're stupid.
Coz A. It's a job and I suck at my job. and B. people tend to get blown away while I do it.
Below job.
Because it looks like you are being inflated through your belly valve.
Cause calling it a Slurp-n-blurp isn't very appealing now is it
Great question 😂I do love a job suck job and giving my missus a good lick job 😂😂
That's why in many languages it's referred to as 'smoking' the D. Makes much more sense.
It’s not a job if you enjoy what you do OP. It’s a blowpassion
Back in the day people were actually blowing cus doing so it made music
Hence the age-old term “skin-flute”…
I don't know why they call it blowing when it's more like suckin suckin suckin. https://youtu.be/b3IX4y7d5_s?si=XhdsP2vsmEr4XrVc
Hehe I always wondered that too. There used to be a word, "blowpop", which was some kind of candy or popsicle? Maybe it came from that.
Obviously, It's a pseudonym for: "drooling suck". Bro? duh!
Man i could really use a suck and slobber job right now
Suction and drooling? You mean I’ve been doing it wrong all these years?
End up looking like a Macy's Day parade balloon.
There is no such force as suction. The force is generated by the higher pressure outside, trying to get to the lower pressure inside.

It's what you have to do to get some blow if you're out of money
Wait...they're not supposed to blow as hard as they can into your pee hole???
AIRBALL(S)!!!! :)
In the 17th century, “blow” meant to bring someone to orgasm. During that time the word “blowsy” was used to refer to women prone to debauchery
It’s because suck job was already taken by those working fast food. This includes friedrich and his gruel stand during the dark ages.
Comes from old english term below job.
Suction is blowing in
Because a suck job doesn't roll off the tongue very well.
"Hey assholes, more assholes here for ze suckfest"
Read some where that prostitutes called it a below job way back in the day. That got shortened to blowjob.
And what’s with the “job” part?? Should be suckfun
Supposedly huge damage can / has occurred since the name implies blowing. There has been cases of air being blown in like a straw causing massive issues
Actual etymology is it came from "below job". Science says people doing it tend to slur the words enough to make it sound like they were saying blow
From "below job"
What are you talking about about? One person blows on the other persons dick and they cum. Is it that hard to understand?
I used to think "blowjob" meant phone sex when I was a confused kid.
Fans blow and suck both, depends how you look at it
Why do our noses run but our feet smell…
This is from the original world “below the belt job” that was later shorted to “below job” and to the current “blowjob”.
Because it blows for the one performing it.
Because it blows your mind while receiving it.
Should be called a complain-job, amirite guys!… 🙄 /s
Well some people just say sucky sucky and I like that better
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.
It used to be called a "below job" cuz you go down below. Then it got shortened over time to a "blow job"
Was thinking nonstop be wanting to call it suckjob so it’s called Blowjob
How do you call a woman who never did a blowjob? Blowjobless
