It's not like they have big giant cocks or anything. Why not call them "dirt bag" roaches or something?

Do they have a use that I am not aware of?

Well dicks have not been called cocks as long as cockroaches have been called cockroaches, and as a side point cocks (male chickens) are not hung either. I think for some reason maybe the human penis was nicknamed a cock due to it looking like a beak and the two comb like testicles. But fuck I am just guessing on the last one.

Use, well they are indeed a super creatures and we have learned a great deal from them scientifically. Many of our current robotics that require leg movement have been based off of that insect. I am sure redshoe has more info. Oh and in many cultures they provide a healthy dose of protien.
