I checked at Word-Detective, and didn’t see this. Anyone know where this phrase came from?

The Dictionary of Phrase and Fable is another good source for stuff like this:

Gypsy: Tom, I don’t get you.
Tom Servo: Nobody does. I’m the wind, baby.

I was in Jackson, Mississippi, and that was the best Catfish restaurant in town. They explained that the thugs on the docks (in their macho splendor) could be designated as the “Cock of the Walk”.

The catfish was superb, by the way.
