Actually he was correct in his usage of weathercock in the first place.
A device which sit on a roof line that indicates the direction of the
wind. This particular description of the device comes from the long
time use of a rooster shaped airfoil common in the America's from the
early 1700's to date. Tho oldest versions of these were crafted from
cast iron in very ornate patterns and are very valuable collecters
items now.

 I thought weather to use a similar pun but my own vanity would not allow it.
I don't want to come across as too windy around here.
