What's bothering me here is, why should these headdresses be associated with roosters? Roosters are male, and these are female fashions. Yes, I know a cock has a "comb" on its head but still, this seems to be a stretch. Even if it's an insult, it seems to me that there should be some kind of rationale behind the term and that should be recognizable.
Roosters used to be ubiquitous - watch any flock of chickens for a while and you'll see that roosters spend a great deal of time posturing, posing, struting and showing off. That seems like a good lead in for a name that teases an extreme fashion or the wears of.
