Thank you, Brian.

It is interesting that every army in the world seems to call it the same thing. I remember visiting the Russian Battalion in Croatia in 1993, and while fueling up they even referred to it as a 'horse cock' as well. The translator had fun with the term.

Not anymore Ed. I had some guys from 2VP over to borrow the M548 from the museum, and it was out of fuel. When I asked them if they had a horsecock in their vehicle, they kind of looked at me sideways. I had to explain what I was asking for, and one of them told me they weren't allowed to call them that anymore.

Life's no fun any more. Back in the era of my youth, these road signs would have been repeatedly graffitied with two additional letters, and maybe a drawing or a phone number. It would be seen as a right and natural thing to be done.

Nowadays, the Politically Correct miscreants must look at it and shrug: "Meh, it just means Creek!". What is the world coming to?

The sign that gets me over your way is "Hump". It looks like you've been here as well?

Too true. There's this road sign I've passed hundreds of times and not once has somebody whitened the C to make it a G. Not even me.

Yes, the horses must have been so offended.

And thus ends a tradition dating back to at least 95 A.D. when Caeser's XIV Centurion Guard used actual horse cocks to fuel their battle chariots with ether. Or not.

How about "equus cantavit gallus" - or at least that is what Google tells me it is called in Latin.

Does this mean that the 'F' word is no longer used as well?

'F' as angrily shouted when the horse's do-hicky (do-dickey?) leaks spewing petrol all over you...that 'F'? I hope not because I plan using it should that occur.
