Usage

Why "Blow" when "Suck" which is more accurate?

Who started this "blow me" misnomer? I mean "suck me" is more accurate of a description and already adequately describes such action

Clearly, blow doesn't describe it at all. No one blows in reality. Not even close.
Why do people still use it, as in BJ? Who is the person to blame for this usage?

But, based upon a movie I've seen of a blow job in progress, it seems to me neither "blow" nor "suck" has any relevance to the technique. Terms like "Lick", "orally caress", or even "swallow", could be appropriate, but I see no reason to think the deliverer is sucking or blowing, nor any reason to think that either of them would contribute significantly to the sensations imparted.
