all but

A phrase which once meant "anything excluding" or "not" but now which means absolutely nothing and is used by Yankees to indicate a lack of intelligence unbeknown to them.
Paul (From Tennessee): I got an 11 on my ACT...

Brutus (From New York): I got a 35, I am all but intelligent.

Paul: Are you sure they didn't mix up our tests?

Brutus: Oh wait, I didn't even take the ACT.

all but a cock

adj.

Synonymous with 'a lot', often referring to almost all of something.

Source:
My shit-pants partner and I ate a large portion of a strawberry swirl cheesecake, leaving only a cock-shaped piece left in its plastic container. This ultimately lead to the statement that we ate 'all but a cock' of the cheesecake.
1) "Wow, we ate all but a cock of that cheesecake."
2) "I know all but a cock about the female anatomy."
