Can cuckqueen be used as a verb?

[RawHumor]

I've seen cuckolding used as a verb before (e.g. he was cuckolded by his boss, or whatever), but what if it's the reverse situation?

In the BDSM community, a female cuckold is a cuckqueen (I've seen different spellings), but does a woman cuckold another woman or does she cuckqueen her?

Working on a story and just curious on opinions.

Anything can be verbed. Doesn't mean it's a great idea, but of course you can do it anyway.

When a woman cheats on a man he is a cuckold.

When a man cheats on a woman she is a cuckquean (according to numerous sources, this is the correct spelling).

I usually see people use cuckold as a generic term no matter which partner is the cheater.

To my knowledge there is no similar term for Same Sex couples so I would use the term for the gender of the person who is not getting laid. For lesbians she would be cuckquean, Gay would be cuckold.


Mirriam Webster online lists this word as obsolete and only offers basic info, unless you pay to access.

Wikitionary lists it as both a Noun (cuckquean/cuckquens) and as a verb (cuckquean/cuckqueans/Cuckqueaned/Cuckqueaning).

I don't mean that the couple is same sex - I'm just referring to the act of one woman (Dani) becoming another woman's (Amy) boyfriend's (Mike's) new primary lover. I planned to use the more general cuckold (Amy has been cuckolded by Dani) terminology.

Thank you.

Writers are certainly playing a lot with the term cuckold, but it's still defined by Webster's as "a man whose wife is unfaithful." Even the Urban Dictionary specifies that it is a male, a husband.

I suppose at Lit. you could be as sloppy about your use of the term as you like, though and that you can coin any derivative term from it you like as well as long as you are internally consistent and don't try to do it in the mainstream.

I think it's the cheating partner that's doing the cuckolding. So Mike would be making Amy the cuckquean. As there is no relationship between Amy and Dani.

If you really want a term, one that I have seen used for "the other woman" is cuckcake although I believe that's used when the partner has knowledge of or participates in the affair. If Mike is sleeping with Dani without Amy's permission, blessing etc then she'd be his mistress.

Also technically a cuckold has no or limited knowledge of his partners affair. A male who encourages his wife to cheat and gets arousal from watching his mate have relations with other people is a Wittol. While a cuckquean generally does have knowledge of the affair, otherwise based on my (admittedly limited research on the topic) she would be a cuckold.

I've never heard of Wittol before... that's a new one.

This will be more of a semi-reluctant cuckquean situation. They both know, and they both know that they both know. And the term won't be used more than once... probably.

Yep, cuckold is used here a lot for what should be wittol. "A man who knows of his wife's infidelity and puts up with it" (Webster's).

And Gay used to mean simply happy.

The English language evolves and wittol for whatever reason has been replaced by cuck/cuckold. I have no idea when or why that happened, it just did.

Search 'wittol' on a porn site and not much if anything pops up, search cuck and you get countless videos popping up

 

[lovecraft68]

I'd go with cucked or cuckold, I don't think it has to be gender specific, the situation would call it out to the reader

 

[Handley_Page]

The term goes back quite a way.
" Cuckquean is a gender opposite term of cuckold derived from Middle English (1562 CE). "

Oxford English Dictionary to the rescue!

"Cuckquean" is recorded as early as the mid sixteenth century: the definition is simply "A female cuckold," and the quotations make clear that a man can certainly make his wife a cuckquean. After the seventeenth century it seems to go obsolete until Joyce revives it in Ulysses.

it is also used as a verb as early as the late sixteenth century: "You can doe him no wrong . . . to cuckold him, for assure your selfe hee cuckqueans you."

Webster's evolves with the times--it's updated about four times a year, and it's a descriptive rather than a prescriptive dictionary (reflects what "is" in the current time rather than "what should be"). Those who are serious writers wouldn't be sloppy with their writing. You seem to be insistent that those writing BDSM follow your little sect's "rules," so you're just being hypocritical about this.

Yeah, if you aren't a serious writer and just writing for Lit., you can be this sloppy with definitions--but then you really should concede that those writing BDSM can be sloppy with their definitions when writing for Lit. without razzing them for it.
