cods
North Atlantic food fish
Cods is the plural of cod, the cold-water fish prized for its mild white flesh: Atlantic cods have been commercially fished for centuries.
In British slang, cods means testicles—from codpiece, the pouch covering male genitals in Renaissance clothing.
To cod someone (British) is to tease or hoax them.
