Footnote on Cum

Some of our followers have enquired about the frequent usage of the word "cum" in our blog. The Macintosh Dashboard Dictionary (product placement) defines it as follows:

cum

1 [kuhm, koom]
preposition [usu. in combination with]
combined with; also used as (used to describe things with a dual nature or function) : a study-cum-bedroom.

We understand that it also has other meanings, but would like to clarify that our usage of the word is entirely wholesome and inspired by our friend Stephen, a British national, and a fine fellow.

    Is there a rule that prohibits the use of the 'cum' word twice, one after the other?

    i.e.; "Face towel-cum-cum towel"

    ;)
