BY THE NUMBERS — “A comparison of the 2008 population — using data from a variety of sources — with the first census in 1881 shows that the number of [people named] Cocks has shrunk by 75 per cent, while the number of people called Balls or Daft has fallen by more than 50 per cent.” [Times Online]

There were people named Cocks? Like, first names, like Cocks McGee? Was there ever a Cocks McGee?
Oh wow, that’s awesome. And horrible. For little old Cocks McGee, of course. It’s hilarious to me.

It’s an insidious plot by Dicks of America to firmly implant their surname onto American society.

What a relief! I thought this had something to do with everyone’s cock shrinking by 75% since the last generation!
