No doubt many refined and erudite ladies and gentlemen use "cock" =
"pussy", but the persons I happened to hear it from in the Detroit area
weren't bookish sorts -- they weren't southerners either, IIRC. I haven't
seen it much in books to this day; surely I've seen "cock" = "penis" 1000
times as often ... maybe I've been tending toward Yankee authors. "Pussy"
certainly is very common in fine literature: remember Ian Fleming's Pussy
Galore? [No doubt somewhere there is an analogous character named Lotta
Cock but I think I've missed that work so far.]

Most northerners don't use "cock" = "pussy" or even understand it AFAIK,
but the derivative "cockhound" is more generally used, I think. Just my
casual impressions.
