'Cock-a-doodle-do! Any cock will do!'

Phrase attributed to 1930s movie star Carole Lombard after being exposed as having an adulterous affair with Clark Gable.

"At a hastily called press conference, the exasperated Lombard allegedly shouted, 'Cock-a-doodle-do! Any cock will do!' out of frustration.

"Needless to say, due to the times, none of those present printed her words, but bad blood continued between Lombard and an outraged Louella Parsons until Lombard's death."
