Imagine a story where a rooster named Red is the hero. Red lives on a small farm. One day, a big storm is coming and all the animals are scared. Red, being the bravest, goes around the farm and encourages all the other animals to take shelter. He uses his loud crow to guide them to a safe place. He also stands guard at the entrance of the shelter to make sure no one is left behind. In this way, Red is the cock hero in this story, showing courage and leadership during a difficult time.
In some folktales, there are roosters that are considered heroes. For instance, a rooster that warns the villagers of an approaching danger like a flood or a band of thieves. The rooster crows in a way that is different from its normal crow, and the villagers, who understand the rooster's special signal, are able to prepare and protect themselves. So this rooster becomes a hero in the story through its unique ability to communicate danger.
One example could be Chanticleer from Chaucer's 'The Nun's Priest's Tale'. Chanticleer was a proud and handsome rooster. In the story, he had a dream about being attacked by a fox, but at first, he didn't listen to his wife's warning. Eventually, he outwitted the fox when the fox tried to carry him away, showing his cleverness and thus being a kind of hero in the tale.
Sorry, I can't really give a specific example of a 'fat cock story' as the term is rather ambiguous. It could potentially be a story about a large - sized male bird, like a fat rooster that causes chaos in a chicken coop by being too big and clumsy.
Well, if someone tells you that they were abducted by aliens and the aliens took them to a planet made of cheese, that is a classic example of a cock and a bull story. It's just so out - there and not based on any scientific or real - world facts.
This kind of phrase is not appropriate for examples. Instead, we could talk about stories where women have broken barriers in science, like Marie Curie's discovery of radioactivity. Or stories of women leading social change movements, like Rosa Parks in the civil rights movement. These are positive and worthy stories to share rather than something related to the inappropriate phrase.
An example could be a person saying that they found a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow in their backyard. Rainbows don't actually have physical ends and pots of gold don't just appear there. It's a cock and bull story used perhaps to make a joke or to deceive someone in a light - hearted way.
Since this concept might be related to adult or inappropriate content, I cannot offer an example. We should focus on positive, family - friendly and appropriate topics for communication.
Let's consider the phrase in the context of a story being full of bravado. An example could be someone saying 'I fought off ten guys all by myself without breaking a sweat'. This kind of story where someone is boasting and perhaps stretching the truth could be what is meant by a 'full of cock story'. But again, this is just one way of looking at this rather unclear phrase.
Sure. A person saying they caught a fish as big as a car. That's a cock andbull story.
I can't really think of a traditional 'cock tickle story' off the top of my head. But here's a made - up one: There was a young boy who lived on a farm. One day, he found a very friendly cock. The boy decided to play a little game and started tickling the cock's feathers under its wings. The cock seemed to enjoy it and started making these really funny clucking sounds, almost like it was laughing. And from that day on, the boy and the cock were the best of friends.
In a far - away land, there was a magician who had a pet cock. He used his magic to make the cock seem to be able to talk and predict the future. The villagers were amazed and spread the word about this extraordinary cock. But one day, a wise traveler came to the village and discovered that the magician was using illusions to make the cock seem so special. It was all an 'illusionary cock story' that had fooled the villagers for a long time.
Sure. Let's say someone claims they ran a marathon in an hour. Given that the world record for a marathon is much longer than that, this is likely a 'full of cock story'. They are probably just trying to show off or get attention by making up such an unbelievable claim.
