I was told that by old timers. Honest people like my grandfather and his friends who wouldn't lie. It's not something I looked up on the internet.

But I will see what I can find if verification is needed.

I have NEVER heard that definition of cock before and that's not to say it isn't true. Doesn't sound quite right, does it? VERY interesting, though.

It's true. I remember seeing my first Hustler at my cousin's house. She had some red dildo around her pussy. And he says, "Yea man, look at that fat ass cock!"

Again, these things are cultural. It's not that they're dumb or wrong. They just are.

Here's a prime example. If I said to anyone in the US "My marriage/business is on the rocks.", you would automatically infer that said marriage/business is in trouble.

But that wouldn't be the case if I used that same idiom while speaking with someone in te Middle East or certain African nations, because to them a rock is a symbol of strength and dependability.

Yeah, that sounds like a stretch.

For centuries, "cock" was slang for "penis" because it was derived from the Latin word for "rooster". And not just in English. The French word "coq" also refers to a rooster.

But for a 20 year period in the early 1900, the term was apparently misused by blacks in the south. So, that means that cock also legitimately means pussy? I think we can all disregard that misuse.

Wasn't he referring to the dildo, not the pussy?

While I agree the term was misused, my grandfather certainly wasn't black. And it went passed the early 1900's. I know for a fact that the usage stretched further than just in the black community. I heard it many times growing up when the women weren't around and it was just the old guys sipping on a jug telling their stories.

I had the same thought ...
Maybe it was when the Strap On Dildo became popular? ...
