    It’s not the L. Where I’m from, the vowel sounds are different. Cock - like the O in “box”. Caulk - like “aw”, as in “dawn” (it is worth noting that much of the US has been losing the “aw” sound in that word, so that’s probably why I’m the odd one out).


  • It’s been around for quite a while. Just a generic cutesy thing, I guess.

    I couldn’t tell you how many "Waffles"es I’ve met or known of. Pancake is another popular one. I’ve known a Cornbread, a Brisket, a Tater, a Porkchop, two Tacos (both fat orange cats)…

    A more recent trend seems to be naming pets after Japanese foods. Mochi, Miso, Udon, Soba… Or maybe it’s more of an East Asian food thing because I’ve also known a Wonton, Sesame, Bamboo, Noodle(s). Gohan (Japanese again and may or may not be a food reference).
