English has the bad word "cock" - referring to the male genitalia.

I don't think that has anything to do with chickens.

In Norway and Sweden, the word "kuk" is very similar. It is unmistakably referring to the genitals, and cannot be confused for a bird.

The English language borrows a lot of words from Scandinavia, and I'm fairly convinced this is one of them.
