Cock! (No, it's not what you think.)

A few years ago I tried to settle a word usage debate with a roommate by asking friends what they thought, but didn't have the occasion to ask that many friends and so never came to any definite conclusion. It's only just occurred to me that I now have available a much more efficient way of gathering opinions. Not that I'll ever be able to wave this in my ex-roommate's face as we don't seem to talk any more (this appears to have something to do with the fact that he owes me money, but we won't get into how I feel about that), but 'twill be useful for my own edification.
So, without further ado:
[Poll #442526]
Edit: Disregard the fact that it can also refer to a rooster or the angle of one's hat. Or a dildo. I'm just looking for penis-related applications here.

(Ok, sorry, tasteless and stupid but I couldn't resist.)
I went there too...
