Antique Tommy Also Came

This antique postcard reminds us that it's not just Mary's who have all the fun...

Mary had a little Brother,
Tommy was his name,
Every time she had a caller
Tommy also came.

Lest you think I am imposing our current use of "come" or "cum" (that darn "rampant presentism" problem) upon ye olde world and poor innocent Tommy, let's look at the slang term.

According to Online Etymology, the word come -- specifically the sexual use (including variant spellings) of 'come' -- began it's life as a word for orgasm in 1650, in Walking In A Meadowe Greene, (found in a folio of "loose songs" collected by Bishop Percy) as follows:

They lay soe close together, they made me much to wonder;
I knew not which was wether, until I saw her under.
Then off he came, and blusht for shame soe soon that he had endit;
Yet still she lies, and to him cryes, "one more and none can mend it."

Ironically this seedy use of "come" wouldn't mean the literal seeds until later. According to Online Etymology, again, the meaning "semen or other product of orgasm" wasn't on record until the 1920s.

Which would mean that this postcard, both copyrighted & postmarked 1910, would refer to Tommy's orgasm, not his semen.

Germans use "kommen" (to come) in the same context.
