cock cheese

Vulgar

Smegma or dried semen on the glans penis, usually underneath the foreskin.

Meaning adapted from Wiktionary, available under CC BY-SA 4.0.


SIMPLE

He needs to wash better to avoid getting cock cheese.

CONTEXTUAL

Poor hygiene under the foreskin can lead to the buildup of cock cheese.

COMPLEX

Medical professionals often advise patients that failing to clean the area properly may result in the accumulation of cock cheese.


The term derives from a perceived physical resemblance between the curds of accumulated smegma and the consistency of certain cheeses, such as feta. It is a modern vulgarism based entirely upon this visual comparison.
