- User23 2y agoIsn’t it supposed to be pronounced more like “coke” anyhow?
- Y_Y 2y agoNo not the French word or name, and neither is the German word "Koch" for that matter.

- kreetx 2y agoSpecific cohorts do grow up, but also new generations enter college every year. :) And some people really never do grow up in this topic's sense, even in non-native English speaking countries.
- dark-star 2y agototally agree. I mean it's not like "cock" isn't a totally normal word for a male chicken. I bet biology students or ornithologists are the only ones who have grown up in that regard...
