Pronunciation of 'cum'
Hello!
Sorry if this question seems profane. I'm serious about it.
What is the correct pronunciation of 'cum'? I am referring to the vulgar slang word, not the Latin word for 'with.'
According to Merriam-Webster's, the u in cum as in 'bedroom-cum-study' can be pronounced like either of the o's in 'come' and 'tomb'. Since the vulgar slang word 'cum' is listed as another meaning of the same word, without a separate pronunciation, one would conclude that both options are possible.

Since in this sense it's a variant spelling of "come", I would assume that it is pronounced that way.
