Cock down

That's my alien romance "craft" thought for the day, and you can bet that I'm going to give it to Prince Thor-quentin when I write his book.

Why are we so perky when we do wrong?

Everything is "up". Cock up, screw up, foul up, snafu, mess up...

OK. So "cock up" is an esoteric term from the gentlemanly sport of cricket, nothing to do with barnyard poultry, or romantic enthusiasm.
