"I imagine it comes from the word cocksure.
Which I guess means to be as assured/confident as a cock.
But not a penis."
So not arrogant. Bless.
What about the shy ones.. |

"Cunty... but that's a different thing altogether isn't it?  "
You might be just the closest imo. And Ivy.
Different how? What behaviour would you call cunty |

"I got told my mate yesterday to not get too cocky yesterday. Because we were talking about them teasing me in work and he now works abroad. I think it's used regardless of gender of the person.
"
I'm sure it is. I just wondered if I'm missing something |

I do say don't be so cuntish, and that when someone is being mean but I'm not being totally serious |

Yes.. cocky is also a playful word to an extent. Whilst bitchy not so much. Not to my ears. |

If we are to take the derivation of cocky from “arrogantly pert” and assume that purely by the composition of the entire word containing the descriptor of both a male chicken and a slang term for a penis (making the word, by default, predisposed to describing a masculine behaviour) and then reverse the gender but apply the same rules we end up with:
Henny - which fulfils some of the rules but doesn’t equate to “arrogantly pert”. Further evolution of Henny is thus required. Refining a lazy generic insult for a male that is dominated by a more assertive (arrogant) woman “Hen Pecked” we end up with:
Henpecky.
However we haven’t dealt with the “pert” descriptor. Pert meaning “attractively lively, cheeky, small or well shaped.....
So given that cocky can be a tongue in cheek description of a loveable rogue and applying the rules from above with a gender slant we end up with
Bantampecky
You know when you start something and you wish you hadn’t?.........
I never get invited to parties.

Oh I wish you didn't lose the hen element on the word evolution journey
Bantampecky.. congrats on your neologism;) |

Think bitchy implies gossip, and saying untruths. Cocky to me suggests blowing ones trumpet too much |

The etymology of slang words is notoriously difficult to pin down ! I suspect the use of cock to mean penis and cocky as a derivative to denote strutting arrogance evolved together, and of course many languages associate animal features with human characteristics as they developed when most people were around domesticated animals such as cockerels (which btw don't have a penis!).
I don't see why cocky can't now be claimed for both sexes but I suppose a female equivalent could be 'impudent' which I believe developed from pundendae, the Latin for female genitals ? |

Impudent thank you. All the flashy words whilst cocky just sounds so simplistic |
