Okay I had plumbing issues today. Why is a ballcock called ballcock?

I have no idea.

I'm looking up to the ceiling as if I'll get some sort of inspiration and find an answer.

None - not even a hint of one

There's a ball at the end of it.

And it goes up and down like a cock (except when they don't work)

Stopcock is under your sink, ballclock is in your attic and your toilet, the one that has a ball mechanism is a ballvalve!

The real question is Doghunter, would you prefer a ballcock or a length of pipe?

When taps first appeared, it was noted they resembled the profile of a cock's head and thus were called cocks. Add a flotation ball that regulates flow through the cock and it is now a ball-cock.

Cock-sure...not a drop of doubt will pass.

And due to the noted resemblance to these new cocks, men started referring to their penes as cocks too.

Jaysos Candy that's a whole history lesson about plumbing and cocks. I just don't understand why men would call their cocks after the plumbing cocks. Did ye ever have a look at them?

A pet cock with two balls that I can keep in bedside table would be perfect
