Moo.

This would definitely be A Long, Strange Trip (check the list).

Moo.

After 24 hours of onomatomania concerning this word, it still makes me burst out laughing if I think about it hard enough.

What are you trying to say, sionnach? That this is a pecorous conversation? ;-)

I just wanted to sneak the word pecorous into this discussion.

That's okay, mollusque. I'll shriek appropriately.

Driver's back, then, please!

You want me to drive? I do sneaky things like passing an 18-wheeler just when the big herd is coming up on your side of the road.

Haha! Dibs on the front passenger seat!

Road trip! We could call it "Behold and Low".

Now I want to take a road trip with mollusque. When are we leaving?

*still wishing my office windows rolled down*

There are variants: if the cemetery has a church, the cows are saved. Passing a McDonald's or Burger King halves your herd, but a KFC or Chick-fil-A doubles it.

Mollusque, your game is much grimmer than the animal cribbage my family always played in the car. Sounds fun, though!

Well...I don't generally moo at cows, but I do tend to emphasize the "moo" in "moose" and "movies".

There is a word for that, mollusque, after a fashion. See aboiement.

Is there something you'd like to...ummm...tell us?

Mollusque, I like that game.

If you moo at cows when you're not in a car, is it still bovilexia? What if you don't roll down the window?

Another vehicular bovine diversion is counting how many cows you see on your side of the road, versus how many your companion sees on the other. Passing a cemetery on your side kills your cows. Whoever collects the biggest herd wins.

No. But wouldn't it be cool if they did?

Architects: take note.

Your office windows roll down, yarb?

Who said anything about cars? Doesn't "passing cows" imply that the window is in a building?

What do you mean, cows don't walk past your house?

Trivet, you're my kind of person.

Well, I'll admit to animal noises, but I'm not a sign reader. Usually. ;->

Me, too!

What is it about cars that inspires random outbursts - animal noises, reading of signs, etc?

Hey, I think I have this. (I also have anserinexia--or so I've been told.)

How could I have forgotten about this word? Favorited!

an uncontrollable need to roll down the window and moo at passing cows
