Cock-a-Hoop

Apparently we are indebted to Boris Johnson for the invention of a brand new word - 'cockamaniac'. (Or should that be 'cockomaniac? Doesn't seem to be in the dictionary yet). I like this word and think it would make a fine title for a short story.

Cockamaniacs on the Loose by Justine Elyot. It has a certain ring to it.

Anything that adds to the richness of sex-related language is most welcome. Trying to find new and interesting variations on the classic genital descriptors is a constant challenge.

  1. Help! I am a good right on tree-hugging liberal (well, mostly) but I can't help adoring Boris Johnson! He makes life so much more colourful...

  2. Ha, yes, I think people on all sides of all fences agree that he has made a substantial contribution to the gaiety of the nation. (Unless you are Liverpudlian, oops!)

  3. I want that book now. I'll pay any price. Maybe the Cockamaniacs can chase ole' Boris down the street?

    Or perhaps they need to chase someone with more potential for having a nice cock. I just keep picturing Boris' surrounded by strange white floaty hair. He has elf hair! And probably an elf cock, too.

  4. Argh, until now I had no mental image of Boris' Johnson. Elf hair will haunt my dreams!
