Roundheads
Is the terminology "roundhead" for circumcised and "cavalier" for intact universal in the English-speaking world, or is it just British?
When I was at school, a boy conducted a small survey on this issue, asking every pupil he saw whether they were roundheads or cavaliers. In my naivete I thought he was referring to political sympathies in relation to the Civil War, and I replied Cavalier, which in the sense in which I now realise he intended was wrong. Of course, if he had been in my own class, he could have known the answer, because he would have seen me in the showers.
Hi, entering a bit late in the discussion but I remember the terms well.
I went to an English boarding school late 60s early 70s and these terms were in common use. I would estimate around 30% of the pupils at the school were cut, some tight cuts some more loose. Always thought that the cut cocks looked better and so had myself circumcised as an adult. Certainly not regretted it.
