I've heard of it but never had reason to learn it. Maybe I will someday though. i travel a lot. I know English and conversational Spanish, and my dad knows English and conversational French. It's been enough so far, but If we broaden our travel plans we may need to know more.
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
I'll give you a quick explanation. In English there's a weird old saying "It warms my cockles". People don't use it much. It means "it makes me feel happy or affectionate". So someone was asking "What are cockles anyway?" So I looked it up and found out where the saying could have come from and I also found out exactly what cockles were. Then they were guessing why a human heart may have reminded early surgeons of cockles. Then they jumped to Latin root words and explained that Cochlea can also refer to the insides of the ears. I made my own connection there to Cochlear implants (they are a kind of device that can be put in the ear to help some people with severe hearing impairments.) Does that help a little?

Is English not your first language? I could try and explain it.

For tumblr, cockles is also the ship name for Collins/Ackles. So, depending on the context, it might be talking about this ship.
