Cock

This dates back to the early 17th century in England. It mixed the basic image of the cock as a rooster and the cock's head seen as a tap-like shape. This second aspect was emphasized by its function in pouring semen. It remained in common use until Queen Victoria's coronation, whereby it became taboo to use it in her court.
