Cockney
cockney
- 1600, from M.E. cokenei "spoiled child, milksop," orig. cokene-ey "cock's egg." Most likely disentangling of the etymology is to start from O.E. cocena "cock's egg" -- gen. pl. of coc "cock" + жg "egg" -- medieval term for "runt of a clutch," extended c.1521 to "town dweller," gradually narrowing thereafter to a particular neighborhood of London.
