2. ...wearing a cup with a target and they shoot grapes at his jock.

cup for small children

No, it's not a jock. I'm not sure if my explanation is correct in your context, but it's at least one possible meaning.

it\'s a protective device for male genitals (for football players, boxers etc.)
Peer comment(s):

agree Kim Metzger : That's it, Norbert - the protective device. It's also used in baseball, especially by the catcher.
