We’re camped near Deadwood, SD. I believe the word “cocksucker” is obligatory when in town. “I’d like a fucking cheeseburger, and don’t you dare bring it back here well done, you cocksucker!” Pleasantries like that. I’m looking forward to trying it out. ---

I always heard it as “crocksoaker.” ---

Perhaps its origins are in “sock cooker”, since camp cooks would make coffee that way? ---

Must be a winery nearby. Why else would they have so many cork soakers? ---

hmmmm…I was sort of hoping for catskinners becoming de rigeur, but the wrong amount of letters seems to have tripped that up. ---

A helpful suggestion: If you’re not prepared to type an expletive in it’s entirety, _don’t fucking use it_, OK? We all _know_ what the word is. Don’t pretend you haven’t said “Cocksucker” because there’s a bunch of asterisks there instead of letters. Otherwise, have fun in Deadwood! 🙂 ---

Strange, I would not have assumed Deadwood and cocksucker would go well together. I will admit though to being woefully ignorant on these matters. ---

Where did you camp, coc-… I mean, **Chefguy**? I camped near Deadwood once. In February. In 18 degree weather. While I had a fever and was not otherwise a willing member of our party. I have no fond memories of that excursion. But if you can, swing by Bear Butte, near Sturgis. It’s one of the most sacred sites to many Plains Indian tribes and a very beautiful place as well. ---

It’s one of the most sacred sites to many Plains Indian tribes and a very beautiful place as well. We’re actually in Spearfish at the moment, in Chris’s Camp. We’re heading out on the loop today that will take in Spearfish Canyon, Bear Butte, Deadwood and Lead. Tomorrow we’re off to Devil’s Tower across the border in Wyoming to see if we can get abducted by those alien cocksuckers. ---

I think the OP means “corksetters.” Deadwood refers to cork. Duh. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/listen-up-all-you-c-ks-rs/509210.md?page=2)
