[Ads-l] Antedating of "blow job"

[Pete Morris]

Last month Fred gave us a possible antedating of 'blow job'

OED 1961,  Fred's cite possibly 1947.


Here are some more antedatings. Caveats about google datings apply.


======================

1945 use of a term "blow job"  it doesn’t seem to be the modern meaning.
In fact, I can't fathom what it means in context.

=====================

possible 1946   "then did a blow job on the biggest cock he could find"

===================

possible 1949

===================

Review of court-martial dated 6th July 1951, concerning events that took 
place in 1950.

===================

possible 1955

===================

Possible 1957  Google has mangled two-column text, and the link goes to 
a different part of the page.  I think it says
" ...accused took Gregory back to the bedroom , intending “ to give  him 
a blow job "
