I looked at that damn bird again this morning and almost had coffee come out of my nose. You're hilarious.

Is "knob!" becoming the new "cock!"?

it's the economy -we can't afford to use the whole thing any more.

"Is "knob!" becoming the new "cock!"?"
 

Only 'here', and only as it pertains to those worthy of the moniker.

Cock.

Knob.

Knob has been almost a term of endearment among mates over here for years and years.

You merkins are so sloooooooow... :D

Or maybe just not upside down.

Cock is still a term of endearment over here, just depends how it's said.
"Alright cock?" as opposed to "You cock."

also cocker.


[eta] also, not sure if it's still in use amongst the childer, but when I was a kid the toughest kid in school was 'the cock of the school', and each class had a 'cock of the class'. There was usually a 'cock' of the girls too.

Well, of course!

That's exactly how I mean it and express it: as 'affection'... ;)

Well, my sis in law calls my teenage boys knobs (in preference to dicks) when they do something stupid. I think it's funny. Over here it's mostly a more friendly way of telling someone you think they're a dickhead.

Ha! Good catch, Toad.

Yeah. Every time that picture comes up, I think it's me for a split second, but there's something a little off about it. And then I realize it's not me.

I should make it my profile pic on FB.
