Talk:Cock

message: I think that, as "cock" is the international English term for male chicken, that rooster should be moved here and renamed cock, with a single disambiguation for the second term.  Otherwise, the article violates NPOV by conforming to American English instead of any of the other dialects who all reserve "rooster" to refer to a young cock. - Gilgamesh 06:30, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: I was about to suggest this to see what people thought. LOL. Anyway, I've gone ahead and semi-protected it from new and unregistered users. Coincidentally, if there are other pages that I should know about, please drop me a note on my talk page. Thanks. :-) -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 23:48, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

message: It seems totally appropriate to have a link to penis from this article. It's not just "a slang term", it's the most common one in parts of the world. And it certainly does no harm having the link. Also, cocks. Stevage 06:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

message: In Shakespeare's Hamlet, "Cock" is used as a corruption of "God" by Ophelia in Act 4, Scene 5:
"Indeed, la, without an oath, I'll make an end on't:
By Gis and by Saint Charity,
Alack, and fie for shame!
Young men will do't, if they come to't;
By Cock, they are to blame.
Quoth she, before you tumbled me,
You promised me to wed.
So would I ha' done, by yonder sun,
An thou hadst not come to my bed."
Should this use be mentioned? -Not Diablo 09:32, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Added- I've add the fact that it is a common form of address, especially around the north West of England, Bolton, Manchester etc. There is nothing sexual or "cheeky" about it in this context.Wizlop (talk) 08:46, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The term is also used as a short form for Ballcock, Petcock or Stopcock in the plumbing industry. The links should therefore be added.

replies: text: I would put them in the section Other uses, due to lack of a better one. Description: Ballcock: Float valve;  Petcock: shut-off valve; Stopcock: different types of flow control valves. They may also be put in one line (if allowed by policy), in that case the discription could be "types of valves (short form)" Feel free to change it to meet the required style.--217.149.175.40 (talk) 21:52, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
