Q.: What is the origin of the term "blowjob?"
A.: According to Cassell's Dictionary of Slang, it started out as "basket job," a gay term from the 1940s. Basket was a slang word for the male genitals, and job referred to a procedure. The wording may have been switched to blowjob due to the fact that "blow" already referred to the act of fellatio (because of the appearance of the physical act).
