The sound of it is funny; throck! Like choking on a fishbone. Or like hitting someone upside his head, more solidly than a thwack but not as solid as a thump.
There is a town and county in Texas called Throckmorton.
And I believe there's some castle or family or both in England called Throgmorton, which is even funnier.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Throckmorton and Throgmorton are from an English place name which according to "A Dictionary of English Place-Names" by A. D. Mills is possibly from Old English for "farmstead by a pool with a beam bridge", with the "Throc" part meaning "beam bridge".

Now I know more than I ever wanted to know about penis location in relation to pelvic or leg injuries. I didn't actually want to know anything about it at all. lol
As I recall, John Thomas was slang for penis in "Lady Chatterley's Lover."

In Lady Chat and beyond. I know an Englishman whose ln is Thomas and who has three given names. He once remarked that he was extremely grateful that none of them was John, and everyone nodded wisely!
