cocks
Tilts at angle
Cocks is the plural of cock—roosters, flow-control devices, or tilts.
It's also vulgar slang for penises.
The verb form means tilts or prepares: She cocks her head when she's thinking.
The rooster sense remains standard in farming and cooking contexts, though speakers often reach for rooster to avoid snickering.
