Definitions
#1·Apr 28, 2026
Archaic vulgar slang for a penile erection. Common in 18th and 19th century bawdy literature. Entirely explicit rather than euphemistic — the term is clinical in its directness even if the register is crude. Now largely obsolete; encountered mainly in historical erotica and period slang references.
The bawdy ballad left nothing to the imagination, mentioning a cock-stand in its third verse.
Origin: Compound of 'cock' (vulgar slang for penis, well-established by the 16th century) + 'stand' (the state of being erect). Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
