On previous threads, people have said that way back when it was 'upstairs downstairs' Downton abbey period. Women of a certain class didn't do adventurous stuff in the bedroom. If men wanted stuff like that, they sought women 'below stairs'....'below job'....blow job.

Human beings have probably been performing oral sex on each other for as long as we’ve had genitals and mouths, but somehow, we’ve never quite come to a consensus on what exactly we want to call it — and our many terms for it reveal more than our urge as human beings to give nicknames to everything that we love: They also reveal our confused cultural attitudes toward the sex act itself. Is it funny or serious? Frivolous or important? And, as every confused middle schooler has probably wondered, why is it called a blow job when there’s no blowing involved?

Here, the stories behind the five oral sex terms below show just how many factors influence the way we describe the act.

1. Blow Job

The most common and commonly understood oral sex term in the world didn’t even come into use until some time after the first World War. In fact, even though “fellatio” is a Latin-derived term — taken from “fellatus,” which means “to suck” — it didn’t come into popular use until 1894, when sexual researcher Havelock Ellis used it in one his clinical works on sexuality. The roots of the term “blow job” began a bit earlier than this, however — in the 17th century, to be exact, when to “blow” meant to bring someone to orgasm. In the same time period, a “blowsy” meant an unkempt woman (fans of history and/or Les Miserables may recall the work options that were available to such women during this time and draw their own conclusions
