<DIV>Good luck. Something tells me you'll be wasting your time trying to find "cock rock" in any old dictionaries, CJ or otherwise...... but I could be wrong....I frequently am....</DIV>
<DIV> I've shot commercials there many times and it'd take a wild flight of fancy (horniness?) to picture it as a penis, even with the domed doo-dad on top, but then, I'm not Chinook, so how the hell would I know?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Maybe Hyas Tyee Dax-winst knows what the word for "dick" is, he apparently knows how to say "outhouse" in Nez Perce, in any event.</DIV>
