What animal do both Cocky and cockfights have in common?
Cockfight A cockfight is a blood sport between two cocks, or gamecocks, held in a ring called a cockpit. The history of raising fowl for fighting goes back 6,000 years. The first documented use of the "word" gamecock, denoting use of the cock as to a "game", a sport, pastime or entertainment, was recorded in 1634, after the term "cock of the game" used by George Wilson, in the earliest known book on the sport of cockfighting in "The Commendation of Cocks and Cock Fighting" in 1607. But it was during Magellan's voyage of discovery of the Philippines in 1521 when modern cockfighting was first witnessed and documented by Antonio Pigafetta, Magellan's chronicler, in the kingdom of Taytay.
Güey Güey (] ; also spelled guey, wey or we) is a word in colloquial Mexican Spanish which is commonly used to refer to any person without using his name. Though more often, and originally only applied to males, it can be used equally for males and females; although women would more commonly use another slang word to refer to another unnamed female person, such as ""chava"" (young woman) or ""vieja"" (old lady). It is used roughly the same way "dude" is used in modern American English. It is derived from the term "buey", which refers to an ox, used for meat, sacrifice, or labor. Over time, the initial /b/ underwent a consonant mutation to a /g/ , resulting in the modern "wey". The word can be used as an insult, like "fool", although, due to its extremely high frequency of use in a multitude of contexts, it has lost much of its offensive character, becoming a colloquialism.
