COCK as vernacular pop adjectival

[RonButters at AOL.COM]

A.
One thing that comes to mind is the old slang term BOSS, surely stemming from 
the verb (or noun), but a slang adjectival for a long time. So the shift is 
clearly not limited to words ending in /k/. at least historically.

B.
I Googled for a number of different of "cock" combinations, and a few worked. 
Part of the difficulty with this kind of research is that "cock" appears with 
a number of different words in nonsense pornography leaders (e.g., "cock 
idea") so it takes forever to get to any real examples. And then, of course, it is 
often the case that the word in question is undoubtledly (or probably) being 
used attributatively, not adjectivially. But I did find the followingh 
likelycandidates:

1.
I found this at <http://www.talkingcock.com/html/sections.php?op=viewarticle&
artid=33>, which comes from Singapore; "cock" here appears to be adjectival, 
not attribtive:

"Yah, I heard about Ah Seng. I'm not surprised. It was an absolutely cock 
idea!"

2.
>From the same website, but <
http://www.talkingcock.com/html/article.php?sid=973>

like the line from the movie, "it's a real COCK idea, man!" =D

3.
Yes, these are both from Singapore, and it seems that adjective cock is found 
in Singapore English, as the following, from an online Singapore swearing 
glossary, indicates (at <http://www.insultmonger.com/swearing/singlish.htm>):

How to swear, insult, cuss and curse in Singlish!
 Singlish language swear words and phrases and their English translations.
 (Singapore recognizes four official languages: English, Mandarin, Malay and 
Tamil. Singaporeans also speak a peculiar brand of English called "Singlish". 
This mixes English with Chinese dialects (mostly Hokkien) and some Malay.) <

Hor Gui Gan              Fucked by ghost

Lan Jiao Lang          Cock person (Jerk / Bastard)
Kena sai Disgraced! (lit. to be stained by shit)

ETC.

Here is what seems to be a fairly good candidate from the US, but they are 
admittedly few and far between (from Morel - Life/Blogger 6/01-7/03 at <
http://morelworld.com/oldlife.html>): 

july 18, 2002-- the band just left. Things are going well . Things are also 
hard. What is important isn't necessarily what you want. Its hard to pass up 
what you want for what is important. . What is home? I guess home is the people 
around you. I am home right now. "Kid got the handshake- kid make the earth 
quake and the dream lets me down...you shake a storm up-I'll turn the porn up- 
I'm cool when you're around"
 june 20,2002 -- my friend Jack Pierson came down to visit and take pictures 
of the band. We all had a good time hanging out. I'll post some pics later 
this week.Working on a new song. Going to go to the beach to chill for a few 
days.
 june 14, 2002-- 3:00 am-- the band came over-- things unraveled as the night 
progressed- at least on my end. Everything I'm writing about is wrapped up in 
the band. All of my usual cock attitude has lost its way lately-and I'm into 
it.

Another good candidate for adjectival "cock" is in the following DVD review, 
in which "cock attitude" is used to describe a yung woman (at <

fourteen year old Gau, it is time once again for him to return to the graves of 
his parents, murdered by bandits when he was just ten. In the company of his 
adoptive sister Ella, Gau quickly comes to realize that his journey is more

school of martial arts are about to be pushed to the breaking point. Will he ever 
discover the secret of the Shadow Skill?


Made up of three OVA's and an epilogue OVA, Shadow Skill is another tale

there depending on your point of view.

We're introduced to young fourteen year old Gau training near the city where 
his older adoptive sister is about to go into the arena to fight for the title 
of becoming a Sevalle. The Kurada section of the world has evolved into a 
warrior based society over the past 2000 years and during these competitions, the 
winner is bestowed the title and honor of Sevalle, which is the name of those 
who ruled.

After a brief encounter with someone who was watching Gau train in a 
mysterious fighting mode, he heads to the arena to watch the even. Ella's got the cock 
attitude of a seventeen year old whose a master in the Shadow Skill, a rare 
and powerful fighting technique. She's going up against Baslek, a rather 
imposing and tall beefy creature who keeps on fighting even after losing entire 
limbs.

"Big-cock" seems to be adjectival in the following album review (at<

 The Black Halos - The Violent Years
Sub Pop
 By: Holly Day (Associate Writer)
2001-06-21
 Artist: The Black Halos
Title: The Violent Years
Label: Sub Pop (www.subpop.com)
P.O. Box 20645, Seattle, WA 98102
Format: CD, 39 minutes
 Cool, retro, noisy, garage punk rock drawing heavily on the foundation the 
Ramones and the New York Dolls laid down, with lots of big cock attitude and 
awesome, sloppy lead guitar that barely stretches past the three-chord limit of 
these songs. The songs are fun to listen to, but it's sometimes hard to tell 
one song from the next, they're so similar (excluding the notable cover of Joy 
Division's "Warsaw", which is, to be honest, an awfully hard song to fuck up), 
and even have similar themes running through them, most notably, the idea 
that "the underground isn't the underground any more" and numerous references to 
people selling out, almost as if these songs are the bitter, sarcastic answer 
to the questions of identity and culture posed by the first generation of punk 
rock.

No time now to explore more!!!!
