You know the rules of the competition. Don�t look it up, don�t google it, and if you know what it means, either keep the knowledge to yourself or join in and give us the craziest and funniest meaning.  The winner is declared at midnight Spanish time.

A wallop to the "codpiece".  It could be a direct hit or it could be metaphorical.

codswallop-a bunch of nonsense. Like when someone doesn �t believe your story, they �ll say, "boy, that �s a load of codswallop". And you �ll be marked for life...

codswallop: a type of fish (cod) that was very hungry so it had a sea scallop, but it was so hungry it didn�t even chew it, it swallowed it! :)

cods - plural of a type of fish
wallop - hit, smack
so codswallop means a bunch of people who need punishment for whatever reason who are then lined up and smaked around the head by a group of fishy creatures
