HMMMMM?

When my mom was dying of cancer, my dad had to keep working to keep his health insurance. His midsize company has a program by which employees can transfer paid time off to one another. A person in HR sent out an email explaining his situation. Within 3 hours, my father had 12 weeks of paid vacation. Strangers’ sacrifices GMH.

Cockpits

I was telling my friend how the word cockpit immediately makes me think of vagina. I feel like it’s pretty self-explanatory. It makes sense. It’s a cavity where a penis goes, kinda like… a vagina. A majority of the time where a cockpit is referred to, is when in an airplane. And I’m pretty sure everyone things some shady shit is goin’ down in the cockpit. I mean… it’s all locked off and private, pilots are probably bangin’ stewardess’ (I’m sorry, “flight attendants”) and they all love it. Why? Because they’re in the motherfuckin’ cockpit.

So I decided to Google the etymology, thinkin’ this word can’t really be that old, and also maybe because I secretly wanted to see if anyone else correlates the word cockpit with vagina. I didn’t do so well with the latter - aside from the few questionable links which popped up, but maybe I should turn Safe Search on. Anyway, apparently cockpits were some sunken ditch-like area where cocks (male chickens, roosters, or whatever) would be put to fight, hence cockfights. And the walls of this “ditch” had to be lengthy enough so that whatever was placed inside of it, could not easily escape (Am I winning you over?). The first time the term was used, or at least that it’s recorded of being used, is in the prologue of Shakespeare’s Henry V. And sometimes it was used to denote a theater, due to the shape where the action is goin’ on deep at the bottom, and the spectators stay mostly at the top, or outside of the thing completely, viewing the action from above.

Later on, cockpit became a nautical term for the rooms or cabins located in a fighting ship’s lower deck. This was a small, cramped and badly lit area where the surgeon of the ship would operate because it was relatively safe from disturbances caused by the ship’s movement. During battles, however, the cockpits were said to be noisy, stinking, and bloody - which is really why the term applied, seeing as it reminded people of an actual cockpit (ya know, the ones where the manbirdcocks fight eachother til one dies). Then later on during WWI, pilots adopted the word cockpit to denote the cramped place where the pilot sits, and then years later it was used to describe where a racecar driver would sit. Which, to me, makes perfect sense as to why cars, ships, and even aircraft are generally associated with feminine pronouns. Because they have cockpits (vaginas). And just like guys (and some girls) enjoy time spent in the cockpits of cars, plans, and boats - they also enjoy time spent in a vagina.

Also, let’s not forget how the word cock, on its own, is generally used. Even if it’s not meant to be penis or dick or whatever, the sexual innuendos are insurmountable. The way that guns are “at full cock” (hawt), or when it’s said to describe the particular angle which something is tilted. Like, there were some serious pervs back in the day who planted all this shit because back then they couldn’t just come out and say it, they had to be all secretive and proper. But they really wanted to talk about sex and penises and vaginas, ya know? Censorship was overbearing. So they found loopholes. Like cockpits.

Also, check out Apple’s Dictionary examples (I did some highlighting of the sexualish parts):

Also, in case you were wondering what a “snook” is, it’s defined as an “edible game fish of the Caribbean that is sometimes found in brackish water.”

I’m just gonna stop while I’m ahead.
