"Jock" and "Jok"
I know that "jock" is a word for certain subculture, alright. But I saw people using it like a swear word close to "dick". Or am I mistaken?
I also heard that "jock" is a pejorative word for scottish people.
Can it be used just in the "dick" definition?
As for "jok": urban dictionary says it's "fight" and also "fool". I need the second definition. Does this word's used in this way often?

Here are the contexts I have heard the word used in: A "jock" is a very athletic young man. It is a word used by others who are jealous of his prowess. A "jock strap" is a piece of underwear that supports the male organ.

It seems like the second example is what I'm looking for.
And if "strap" is some sort of "strip of cloth" in this word combination, then "jock" is a *****, right?
I'm concerned about possibility that, since "jock" is offencive to scottish people, it may be the case of "only black people can use the N word". 'Cause I saw the scottish man using it towards other scottish man.

ClivePerhaps you are confusing the word 'jock' with the word '****', which along with '****' is a slang word for the male *****..No, that's not the case. I know those words.
CliveMy advice to learners of English is that you should forget about the Urban Dictionary. If you try to use words from that, you will usually just sound stupid.

You don't understand, I'm trying to make a pun. It's serious business.
As you wish.
But be aware that most people do not know the words in the Urban Dictionary.

I saw this in the othe duscussion:
" jock is an American term for an athlete, the word stems for a slang term for the piece a male athlete (a jock) wears for protection of the genitals ('athletic supporter > jock strap)"

Well, that's true. Thank you for that piece of thought. I'll try to come up with something more understandable (and intelligent).
Thank you for your help.

That is not always the case.
Anonymousit may be the case of "only black people can use the N word".No, it's nothing like as bad as the N word. S
