Slog - Comments on Bomb Ass Cock http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/12/bomb_ass_cock Josh's post on "Kool Thing" got me thinking about the oft-confusing world of pop music. In particular, one thing that always confused me about some of my very favorite music... If you grew up during the heydey of West Coast rap such as Ice Cube, Above The Law, Compton's Most Wanted or The Dogg Pound you might've noticed a curious quirk of slang from the Fresh Coast's gangsta MC's. Hickory dickory dock, it was twelve o'clock Cinderella ain't home must be givin up the cock... -Ice Cube, "A Gangsta's Fairytale" For some reason, when LA rappers say "cock", they typically...

Besides, I heard dactylic tetrameter is where it's at now anyway.

Fuck a bunch of Afro Puffs.

I would also like to add that I have nothing to add as far as the the reasoning behind "Cock = Pussy". I'm just as confused as everyone else.

But.. I would like to add that it pisses me off when people calling eating a girl out "Giving a girl head".

NO.

Get it? He's got a "Bill" (a REALLY expensive grill) in his mouth, like a fat cock, as though he were HIllary giving Bill head. It's inescapably gay. Also worth noting: "Rodham" will definitely rhyme you a lot further than "Lewinski."

"I’m no entymologist or anything..."

Was there ever any doubt? Those pesky pests can be pretty nasty though, so maybe it could be a side career?

Its stems from Cock : as in the male chicken species or the Rooster, the cock of the chickens . The cock is the man. The Cock is male and impregnates lots of female chickens.
Then theres the ongoing history that the male Horse has a cock, The Bull has a cock. That refrence comes from the old English as well. It may have all been started by that crazy perv Marqi De'Sade in france and he played with the english language as well(he was french)
Anyway Cocks has probably been around for a long time as the accepted slang for p....and that where old English comes from. No one wants to go around calling everything by its scientific name exspecially private parts so they always make things up to rename them.
I mean why is the vagina called pussy. Isn't that a cat?
Why is anus called ass. Isn't that a donkey?
I say for everyone just try to master the English language and then you have the right to call it whatever you want. If we don't we are just abunch of babbling idiots making up nonsense
words to actually mean what we say.
Its funny watching old movies and hearing old songs and they say Gay in them. Gay just means happy
but to everyone now its meaning is Homosexual. So after thousands years of saying gay to mean happy, we turned the word into another meaning and make the old one obsolete. Thats just crazy.
No wonder kids are confused in our schools. no wonder why anyone doesn't actually care. sigh.....

You know, the overwhelming yang times we live in. Women have cocks too.. is what they are saying.
Or perhaps they are getting to the "self-love" element of homosexuality, "I see me in you; I love you: therefore, I love me too." Who knows.
Considering the super-macho fronts most rappers present, it wouldn't surprise me if this is the weakness in their walls.
