Literature | Cock Sure is cocky sure - pertly confident. We call a self-confident, over-bearing prig a cocky fellow, from the barnyard despot; but Shakespeare employs the phrase in the sense of "sure as the cock of a firelock." "We steal as in a castle, cock-sure."- Shakespeare: 1 Henry IV., ii. 1. The French phrase is à coup sûr, as "Nous réussirons à coup sûr, " we are certain of success, "Cela est ainsi à coup sûr, " etc., and the phrase "Sure as a gun," seem to favour the latter derivation.
