“cockerel”
You know they’re using that word so Americans won’t go all Beavis & Butthead. The rest of the world calls it a, well, you know what they call it.
A cock. (Even auto correct tried to change it to clock.) We call it a rooster while the rest of the world says, ‘But it doesn’t roost while it crows. Let’s face it. It’s even in the Bible: “cock.” You guys don’t raise chickens anymore, do you?’

Don't worry, we know you get all hot and bothered when you think of rooster.
