DID YOU KNOW ? ? ?

Did you know..
That the word “cock” (which has several descriptions in the Cambridge English dictionary) can be used in the following way? Because I didn’t…


cock (SHOW LACK OF RESPECT)

verb UK

cock a snook at sb/sth to do something intentionally to show a lack of respect for someone or something:

”He could seldom resist an opportunity to cock a snook at traditional English life.”



… I couldn’t find what “snook” meant, maybe you can only have a “snook” when your “cock” is involved.

Feel free to “cock a snook” at this article.
