Quote HistoryQuoted: Im not old enough to have used it, but i remember WW2 era guys who used the term "cock" for pussy. As in: "My buddy and me would load up in my cock-wagon and go find some cock about every Saturday night in Anniston. " My brother and i cracked up hearing that. Old dude (Pacific theater fighter pilot) wondered what we found so amusing. Pissed, even. He told us that is what they called pussy "in his day". He was not the only one of that age i heard it from either. Guess it's akin to me cracking up my daughter's friends when i said: "I have remove a bad tranny from my truck." They thought that hilarious. It has always meant what it means now. He was testing you. |

They thought that hilarious. I recall hearing guys using "cock" to refer to pussy that way up until around 1970. Then porn movies with sound became common and the current terms started to come into use as porn more or less standardized sexual terminology in the country. |
