Conservative British minister Penny Mordaunt “gave a speech in Parliament last year that was ostensibly about the welfare of chickens, but was actually written with the express purpose of saying ‘cock’ as many times as possible,” Gawker reports.
Mordaunt “revealed this week that she gave the March 26, 2013 cock speech in the House of Commons after losing a bet with some Marine training officers.”
