I'm not american enough to understand this
- The mascot for a college is "gamecocks" so the women's version would be "lady cocks"
  Reference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Carolina_Gamecocks
  
  the women's teams were previously known as the Lady Gamecocks, this distinction was discontinued in part to eliminate any gender bias in the athletic department and in part to counter misconceptions about the gamecock mascot endorsing bloodsport.
  Uhh..I have many questions
- I like to make fun of my home state. It's a pretty conservative place so the idea of a woman with a penis offends them.

Seems to be a local thing (or duckduckgo knows me too well....).
- I didn't think about that. It probably is localized.
