Huh. I'm not far from Cummington, Massachusetts. I had no idea.

The mineral was named after the town, which was likely named after someone named Cumming, long before it became a slang term.

Harder to explain is this.

Thats hilarious!

I agree. Its probably one of those things where the term didn't mean anything back then, but now it does, and so awkwardness ensues. lol
