Isn't "rooster" used in contemporary British English as well (alongside "cock")?
I used "rooster' in one of the tests I gave my students, and a colleague of mine (a teacher of English too) told me that "rooster" is used only in American English.
Some dictionaries say it is used mainly in AE, so I understand that it is accepted in Br.E. as well, is it not?
I need to know whether in contemporary British English it is used for I' ve heard it quite often and I need to to tell my colleague who is a bit conservative when it comes to spoken British English.
Thank you,
angela
PS I sometimes used "rooster" in order to avoid "cock" which nowadays is most often than not associated with the taboo word for a male's sex organ (one can hear it- rather too often - in American films) ...
Cockerel, or cock.
ie the cock crows at 6am.
To avoid saying cock, most would say cockerel. That's what it is.
Rooster is American.
