Challenging senses 2 and 3: #2: "(UK, slang, derogatory) Patriarchal or patronising discourse, particularly between men"; #3 "(same glosses) The results of any patriarchal or patronising discourse or behaviour". So something like "mansplaining", supposedly? If it's real, consider redefining, since "patriarchal" and "patronising" are hardly the same thing. Can women produce "cockwomble"? etc. Equinox ◑ 18:33, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
- While the overwhelming preponderance of uses I can find refer to a person, I did find a few references to "a load of cockwomble" (but not on durably archived media). Also, "going cockwomble" (again not durably archived). Kiwima (talk) 22:04, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
