Notwithstanding the most regrettable childhood trauma, this request is exactly the kind of ridiculousness that the Political Correctness nonsense associated with CoCs that we should be worried about in the aftermath of proposed adoption. Complaining that the acronym "CoC" is anything remotely like the thing the work "cock" means is, well, cockamamie It's like someone becoming upset over the work "niggardly" as a racist epithet. In fact that word and the one you are thinking of are completely unrelated: entirely different etymology. Nothing in common except, on the one hand, as you imagine the acronym might be pronounced, and on the other because there are six similar letters. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
