cow:  Pronunciation Key  (kou)
n.

   1. The mature female of cattle of the genus Bos.
   2. The mature female of other large animals, such as whales,
	elephants, or moose.
   3. A domesticated bovine of either sex or any age.

Idioms:
have a cow

See definition 3.  Cows *can* be male because otherwise there's no name
for the kind of animal that the black and white male grass-eating thing
is. :)  You can call them a "bull", but what kind of animal are they? 
No, they're not "moos", they're cows.  Even the males.

Best Regards,
