- 6gvONxR4sf7o 6y agoTrue, but of the last hundred times you came across the word cock, how many would you say we’re using that meaning? Probably close to zero for a lot of people coming across Coq. You know that meaning wouldn’t matter if you tried to name your new repo at work “cock” as in rooster.
