Old and busted sexism: cockpit

New hotness woke: bussy

The word cockpit seems to have been used as a nautical term in the 17th century, without reference to cock fighting. It referred to an area in the rear of a ship where the cockswain's station was located

However, a convergent etymology does involve reference to cock fighting. According to the Barnhart Concise Dictionary of Etymology, the buildings in London where the king's cabinet worked (the Treasury and the Privy Council) were called the "Cockpit" because they were built on the site of a theater called The Cockpit (torn down in 1635), which itself was built in the place where a "cockpit" for cock-fighting had once stood prior to the 1580s. Thus the word Cockpit came to mean a control center.

The flight deck is already a thing. It’s the runway.

I propose we rename "the cockpit" to "the mushroom".

The use of the term woke by boomer right wing types is one of the funniest symptoms of their disconnection from the actual reality of what they hate so much. No leftist has used the word in years, but it seems to be a perpetual boogeyman for them.
