A coxcomb is a man who thinks too much of his clothes and his looks, and is rather a fool. The word is old and bookish; you will find it in plays and novels from a few hundred years ago more than in the street today. Calling someone a coxcomb is an insult, but a slightly comic, dressing-room kind of insult, not a street-fight word.

A coxcombcoxcomb是a man who thinks too much of his clothes and his looks一個太在意自己穿著和外表的男人，and is rather a fool而且相當愚蠢。The word這個詞is old and bookish很老派、很書面；you will find it你會在plays and novels from a few hundred years ago幾百年前的劇本和小說裡找到它，more than in the street today而不是今天的日常街頭。Calling someone a coxcomb叫某人coxcombis an insult是一種侮辱，but a slightly comic, dressing-room kind of insult但是一種有點滑稽、後台化妙間式的侮辱，not a street-fight word不是街頭打架用的字眼。

Though actually不過事實上，it started as "cock's comb"它原本是"cock's comb"（公雞的雞冠）：the red crest on a rooster's head公雞頭上那片紅色的冠，and the silly hat a jester wore that looked like one以及弄臣戴的那頂看起來像雞冠的滑稽帽子。So因此the first picture最初的畫面is a man as proud as a rooster是一個像公雞一樣驕傲的男人，wearing a fool's cap戴著一頂傋子帽。

It has nothing to do with the cox in a rowing boat, even though the spelling looks close.

It has nothing to do with它跟the cox in a rowing boat劃船時的舎手cox完全沒關係，even though the spelling looks close雖然拼法看起來很接近。
