This is full of win Is it me or does aolnews.com really REALLY enjoy using the "C" word in this article?
True, but cock is a perfectly benign word which has several unremarkable and non-"dirty" meanings, such as the adult male of any various landfowl (chickens, peafowl, partridges, etc.), a device for controlling the flow of liquid (the ball cock in your toilet), and part of the firing mechanism in a gun. Cunt, on the other hand, only has one meaning (the vajayjay) which we all know is a dirty, shameful thing, and therefore is never mentioned by name or written down in polite society and only whisperingly referred to as "the C-word."
