Omigod! British Cocks Are In Decline!
LONDON, England -- In another sign that researchers have way to much time on their hands, a research team at University College London has found that British cocks are, like the buffalo, slowly fading away.
Oh wait ... that should be British Cocks, not cocks.
The researchers' survey showed that Cocks and other out-of-favor surnames are drooping ...er ... dropping, with the number of people named Cock plunging 75 per cent in past 125 years. There are also fewer Handcocks and Glasscocks.
And Willy, once big in the British town of Taunton, in Somerset, has flopped too, according to the researchers.
Hickinbottom and Shufflebottom have also been given the bum’s rush. And the town of Blackburn has fewer Nutters - and there aren’t so many Daft folk in Nottingham.
Glasgow’s Smellie clan has shrunk, too, according to the researchers.
