Jock (stereotype)
In Canada and the United States, a jock is a stereotype of an athlete.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jock: definition of Jock in Oxford dictionary (American English) (US) )〕 It is generally attributed mostly to high school and college athletics participants who form a distinct youth subculture. As a blanket term, ''jock'' can be considered synonymous with ''athlete''.
Similar words that may mean the same as ''jock'' include ''meathead,'' ''musclebrain,'' and ''musclehead.''〔 These terms are based on the stereotype that a jock is muscular, but not very smart, and cannot carry a conversation on any topic other than one relating to sports, exercise, or sex.
== Origin ==
The use of the term "jock" to refer to an athletic man is thought to have emerged around 1963.〔 It is believed to be derived from the word "jockstrap," which is an undergarment worn to support/protect the male genitals while playing sports.
Jocks are often contrasted with another negative stereotype, nerds. This dichotomy is a theme in many American movies, television shows, and books.
