Along with “dick”, “cock” is the probably most popular slang word for a penis.
“Cock” is also a synonym for “rooster,” but the slang meaning is so ingrained in our culture, it’s impossible to call a rooster a “cock” anymore without making people think about a penis.
That’s why we think it’s fun to use the word cock as much as possible, especially around prissy old ladies and really religious people; because it means “rooster,” they can’t accuse you of being vulgar. We like to say things like, “Oh that reminds me of my cousin Billy. You know, Billy has a farm about two hours west of here; the last time I went there, I was scared half to death by his cock. Seriously, you should have seen his cock. It was so large and irritated, and it this weird, red flap of skin on its head. I swear, it came flying right out of his barn door straight at my face. The damn scariest cock I’ve ever seen!”
Come to think of it, the word “ass” offers similar possibilities for mischief because, of course, it means “donkey.”
1. Sometimes Helene complains that my cock is too big, but I just ask her not to talk with her mouth full.
2. My cousin Billy took me into his barn and showed me his ass and his cock.
