I guess you don't find it embarrassing so you don't see the problem. You're probably in the category of people snickering at some young woman made to say "cock" publically and not in the category of people who are made to feel intensely uncomfortable by it.

Names are arbitrary, why should anyone be so attached to this name, or any other name, idiom, or figure of speech that offends, embarrasses or diminishes others? Because historically we've been able to get away with it?

If you don't care that's fine, but please don't sound so hard done by because people are thinking about how other people feel.
