Where did "cock" come from?

I have been enlightened as to other meanings of "cock" besides a male bird thingy (%26amp; that other thingy).


It can be a mechanical device to stop gas or liquids. It can also be the object you whack in badminton, (shuttlecock).


So where did "cock" come from?


What was it's original purpose or meaning?


How did it evolve into so many meanings?


Could a sensible sentence be constructed using mostly "cock" %26amp; words containing "cock"?|||The word cock is probably ultimately of onomatopoeic origin, imitative of the male fowl鈥檚 call (like the lengthier English cock-a-doodle-doo (16th c.), French coquerico, and German kikeriki). Beyond that it is difficult to go with any certainty; it reflects similar words in other languages, such as medieval Latin coccus and Old Norse kokkr, but which if any the English word was borrowed from is not clear. It has been suggested that it goes back to a Germanic base *kuk-, of which a variant was the source of chicken, but typical Old English spellings, such as kok and kokke, suggest that it may have been a foreign borrowing rather than a native Germanic word 鈥?perhaps pointing to Germanic coccus. The origin of the interconnected set of senses 鈥榮pout, tap鈥? 鈥榟ammer of a firearm鈥? and 鈥榩enis鈥?is not known; it is possible that it represents an entirely different word, but the fact that German hahn 鈥榟en鈥?has the same meanings suggests otherwise.



Of derived words, cocker (19th c.), as in 鈥榗ocker spaniel鈥? comes from cocking, the sport of shooting woodcock, and cocky (18th c.) is probably based on the notion of the cock as a spirited or swaggering bird, lording it over his hens (there may well be some connection with cock 鈥榩enis鈥? too, for there is an isolated record of cocky meaning 鈥榣echerous鈥?in the 16th century). Cockerel (15th c.) was originally a diminutive form.



It's interesting isn't it? As to a sentence with all words containing cock... hmm...



So the cocky cockeral coc.ked his head and cock-a-doodle-dooed. Does that count? (I had to put that full stop in so it wasn't starred out)|||Word Origin %26amp; History





cock





O.E. cocc , O.Fr. coq , O.N. kokkr , all of echoic origin. O.E. cocc was a nickname for "one who strutted like a cock," thus a common term in the Middle Ages for a pert boy, used of scullions, apprentices, servants, etc. A common personal name till c.1500, it was affixed to Christian names as a pet diminutive, cf. Wilcox, Hitchcock , etc. Slang sense of "penis" is attested since 1618 (but cf. pillicock "penis," from c.1300); cock-teaser is from 1891. A cocker spaniel (1823) was trained to start woodcocks. Cock-and-bull is first recorded 1621, perhaps an allusion to Aesop's fables, with their incredible talking animals, or to a particular story, now forgotten. French has parallel expression coq-脿-l'芒ne .


cock





in various mechanical senses, such as cock of a faucet (late 15c.) is of uncertain connection with cock (n.1), but Ger. has hahn "hen" in many of the same senses. The cock of an old matchlock firearm is 1560s, hence half-****** "with the cock lifted to the first catch, at which position the trigger does not act."


cock





seeming contradictory senses of "to stand up" (as in cock one's ear ), c.1600, and "to bend" (1898) are from the two cock nouns. The first is probably in reference to the posture of the bird's head or tail, the second to the firearm position. To cock ones hat carries the notion of "defiant boastfulness" also in M.E. cocken (c.1150) "to fight."

How do you tell a friend if shes being boastful?

so when she plays badminton, and when her partner didnt hit the shuttlecock she gots mad and she humiliates her partner by saying "you are so stupid!" etc. then one day, our badminton instructor arrange a badminton game for us. by the way her name is rose. Rose's partner is Mary(Mary wasnt really good). And Me and my partner Jenny which is far worst than Mary. Well the game is not really you know, like the games of the profs. Change court at 7.haha.Well they won the first set. they got 7 and we got 3.so we changed courts. My partner is kinda slow. Yet, I act like I dont really care.I dont wanna hurt her feelings.Everytime Rose and Mary gets a score, they dance, laugh etc. So I really got mad and whenever I get scores they were like " okay be serious now!". I really hate them.But in the end, WE WON!and thank god for that. now how can i tell her shes so boastful? oh and after the game they were like they said "we want rematch bec. we werent really in a good mood."|||It sounds to me that your "friend" Rose needs a reality check. I have had many a friend with this sort of issue, and I can tell you, the easiest thing to do is to give it to them straight. If you think that the problem is serious enough, and you really want to save your friendship, then arrange a time when you and Rose can be alone and talk. Be careful not to be too mean, but make sure that you get the message across that you don't like her when she acts that way. If she doesn't respect your answer, than she probably isn't a very good friend, and you should find someone else. (Hopefully, this will give you a little insight... Good luck!)|||boastful friends?


I usually leave my boastful friends to boast all they want!|||Yup just let her boast all she wants. you must be able to accept your fren for who she is. One day she look back and see how ridiculous she is behaving. CHeers|||Sounds like you need better friends Games are supposed to be fun and if there not, well obviously there is something wrong|||Well then...why you become their friend in the first place ?

PLASTIC SHUTTLECOCKS...?

when did plastic shuttlecocks come about?|||over 9000 years ago|||lolwtf@ jamal plastic was only invented in the last 150 years...








as for your question, i swear do you not know of google.com? wikipedia.com?





since the first form of plastic was publicly displayed in 1862 the plastic shuttlecock was probably made by someone shortly thereafter, probably not popular but still, i bet some random scientist/badminton enthusiast had made some out of plastic





lots of people have put patents on plastic shuttlecocks in the last 50 years as they and plastic have become more popular|||Not too long ago (around the time when there was a lot going on with plastics), they were made as a cheap alternative to feather shuttlecocks|||what's a shuttlecock?

Have I dislocated my shoulder? ?

I was playing badminton in p.e and I was being stupid and tryin to hit the shuttlecock and spin around at the same time and when I spun and hit the shuttlecock I felt my shoulder pop and go back in again . After that I was in alot of pain and on the floor. Did I dislocate it or just twist it (it still hurts now)? If I did dislocate it do I have to go to the doctors?|||If it is dislocated you probably do need to go to the doctor. Complications of a dislocated shoulder may include:





Tearing of the muscles, ligaments and tendons that reinforce your shoulder joint


Nerve or blood vessel damage in or around your shoulder joint


Susceptibility to re-injury (shoulder instability) if you have a severe dislocation or repeated dislocations


If ligaments or tendons in your shoulder have been stretched or torn, or if nerves or blood vessels surrounding your shoulder joint have been damaged, you may need surgery to repair these tissues.





Most people regain full shoulder function within a few weeks after experiencing a dislocated shoulder. However, once you've had a dislocated shoulder your joint may become unstable and be prone to repeat dislocations. You should probably not ski for at least three or four weeks.





The Mayo clinic has excellent information about care of a dislocated shoulder, so check here.

Hope i could help.

Anyone know the UK rules of badminton? I'm a bit unsure?

1. What happens when the shuttlecock lands on the white line? Is it in or out?





2. Your opponent hits the shuttlecock, you try and return it and miss, but it lands out of play anyway. Is that your point (it was out) or his point (because you tried to return it, even though you missed)?|||1. Lines are considered 'in.'





2. During a rally, you can only get points when you serve. So, if your opponent serves the birdie and, at the end of the rally, he hits it and it lands out, he does not get a point and the serve is yours. If you serve the bird and, at the end of the rally your opponent hits the bird out, that's your point.





Remember, though, that if you touch the bird (with your racket or your body), that is counted as 'hitting' it (the same as if you hit it and it went sideways out of the court). So, if the bird lands out but you touched it, your opponent gets the point if he served. If the bird lands out and you touched it after your serve, no one gets a point and it's your opponent's turn.








As far as I know, those rules are universal to the sport, but those answers are based on my experience in the US.

well i play badminton alot and i hurt myself physically by volleying a shuttlecock back and forth....so what do you think ...is it *****





but of course i don't wana hurt myself,but it happens .... :/|||No

Even in the Prophets days saws, young men used to wrestle so as to learn how to fight. For example Khalid ibn al Walid was known to be the best of the wrestlers.



Y'ani you should not go looking to hurt yourself, but you can do things which there is a risk of getting hurt. There is a risk when taking a shower that you slip and fall, but you still do it.|||Play Blood coin, more fun and bloody :)


its played klike this (best on two or four classroom tables joined 2gether) : One guy spins a coin, all other player have to continue to make the coin spin, who ever makes it stop spinning, all players will hit the coin on his knuckles like carom.|||lolwut? o_O





But no, I don't think so... badminton is fun!


You can hurt yourself doing ANYTHING, basically. It shouldn't be haram or wrong to just play a fun sport. Plenty of Muslims I know are in basketball... that's just as possible to hurt you physically. :P

Feathers in shuttlecocks are made out of? and the cork? why?

i need this now...please answer. thanks|||The feathers are brittle; shuttlecocks break easily and often need to be replaced several times during a game. For this reason, synthetic shuttlecocks have been developed that replace the feathers with a plastic skirt. Players often refer to synthetic shuttlecocks as plastics and feathered shuttlecocks as feathers.





The cost of good quality feathers is similar to that of good quality plastics, but plastics are far more durable, typically lasting many matches without any impairment to their flight. For this reason, many clubs prefer to play with plastics.





The playing characteristics of plastics and feathers are substantially different. Plastics fly more slowly on initial impact, but slow down less towards the end of their flight. Feather shuttles may come off the strings at speeds in excess of 320 km/h (200 mph) but slow down faster as they drop. For this reason, the feather shuttle makes the game seem faster, but also allows more time to play strokes.





Most experienced and skillful players greatly prefer feathers, and serious tournaments or leagues are almost always played using feather shuttlecocks. Experienced players generally prefer the "feel" of feathered shuttlecocks, and assert that they are better able to control the flight of feathers than of plastics. Because feather shuttles fly more quickly off the racquet face they also tend to cause less shoulder impact and injury. In Asia, where feather shuttlecocks are more affordable than in Europe and North America, plastic shuttlecocks are hardly used at all. All senior international tournaments use only feather shuttlecocks of the highest quality.

My dog Keeps eating my shuttlecocks?

My Dog MINTON keeps eating my shuttlecocks, "BAD MINTON".





Lol|||You really need to keep the shuttlecocks away from Minton. They are not digestible being plastic and rubber and they could cause an intestinal blockage. (Even the expensive ones that uses real feathers have rubber bulbs on the end of them)





After you need a $1200.00 surgery to remove a blockage, you'll not think this is cute or funny. He could very well die if he eats one of them.





Keep your "birdies" away from your dog for his safety.|||Lol.

Avoiding wood shots in badminton?

When I play badminton, it seems to me occasionally-half the time, the shuttlecock (birdie) hits either the rim or the neck of my racket. And I don't know if my aim is in fault of that, because I can't quite seem to estimate where the shuttlecock is going to hit when it comes to me. Help? Thanks.|||Your problem originates from a lack of proper form and experience. Try to correct your form as quickly as possible; the longer you play with a wrong one, the harder it will be to overcome it.





Proper form is basically turning your body as you hit, contacting the bird as high as possible, and having your left hand up for balance. Unfortunately, I'm not at a level in which I can teach proper form through an answer; ask a coach or someone you know who can help you with this.





If form isn't your problem (although it most likely is), then as you play more and more, you will get the timing down and it will become second nature.





Additionally, I know you are already concerned about wood hits, but just in case you need extra motivation, wood / frame hits kll birds faster costing more money for more birds, have a chance to snap strings, and damage the racket itself.





Overall, make sure that your hitting form is correct and try your best not to make mistakes. Hope this helps!|||Wear a cup. Glad I could help.
