Remember the game show host Bob Barker? Some family names came from what someone's job was and I'm guessing that a barker was someone who "barked" in front of a store, or a tent at a circus. I have a vague memory of someone at a circus being called a barker.

I've only seen ejaculate used in old books I've downloaded from Project Gutenberg. It did make me frown.
