Subject: RE: Folklore: Odd custom in 'Meet Me in St. Louis'
Where's a French language expert? I first heard "cock" for the female thingy from white southern guys while in the Navy. Since then I've heard it live just once, from a French guy. I heard years ago that the play title "Oh Calcutta" was a pun on a French phrase that translates something like "What a nice ass you have", but I don't remember the actual French.
