re: MS city mourning death of beloved rooster, arrest made for his murder

How did this thing survive free range in a town without a racoon or fox getting it?

My first thought was it was probably a fox or coon but then I saw the picture.

What the hell?

Hopefully, no relation to our Beloved Leader.

What do we want? Justice for Roe!

How do we get it? All cocks must go!

It’s rather funny actually. It’s a VERY old word

Chaucer used it zero masterful effect.

Here’s a little snippet from an article I won’t link because they don’t deserve the clicks, but this one part is informative

It has only been an obscene word since the seventeenth century anyway. Before that, we see “count” flowering all over medieval literature. In spellings like conte, kointe, queinte, quoynte, and quaint, medieval authors—notably Chaucer—punned on the word. As a noun it meant vulva, in a neutral sort of way. But as an adjective or adverb the word meant something slightly like our contemporary word “quaint”; its meaning ranged according to context, from “clever(ly)” and “wise(ly)” to “unusual” or “beautiful.” You might call a valuable ring “quaint,” for example. There is a delicacy to the “q” spelling that makes the Chaucerian “count” seem pretty and fragile. That contrast, between genteel loveliness and the earthy human body, is where Chaucer’s puns get their magic.

Now this-this should be required listening for anyone who appreciates vulgarity.

Remember, the original meaning of vulgar is simply “common”.

This could be a good topic actually

This was the first thing I thought of.

Bye, Bye Carl the Rooster. You're 5,000 candles in the wind.

Chaucer was a huge perv. I bet he lit his farts on fire.

Him and Mozart could do a Stepbrothers remake. No lie, I'd watch that

What did this woman have against that cock

its the only way she could get her hands on one.

Ship that bitch back to Mexico.

This irritates me. DailyMail missed a damn fine opportunity to bury the lead. They could have talked about Carl and how great and loved he was, how big a part of the community he was. They could have talked about his wretched alleged killer, how she was vile and evil and not fit for society. They could have really told the story, and only at the end reveal that Carl was a cock. Missed opportunity.
