A "
cockshot" occurs in a shooter video game when you - either inadvertently or on purpose - shoot another player or NPC in the groin. It's customary to yell, "cockshot!" really loud every now and then when you pull this off. Particularly funny when you were originally aiming for a headshot, and
your aim was just that
far off.
You're in a
FPS game and you aim for the opponents head, but
your aim sucks so bad you end up sending multiple rounds straight at his dick. That's a
cockshot.
