What does it mean to call someone "a cow?"
Again, this question comes from the show MasterChef. A person in the show called another person (her teammate) a cow and that person melted down. I want to know the meaning of a cow in this context.

Question

Answer

I am not sure of what the person being called a cow looks like but when someone calls a person that, it usually means large or fat.  Sometimes people call others cows when they over-eat but mostly it is used to call a person fat or large.

Answer

Felicity is right, it's pretty much b**tch without swearing.

Answer

It's not to call someone fat, although you can say fat cow, or miserable cow etc. It is similar to calling someone a b**ch.

Answer

The meaning of this statement is vulgar.  Usually if someone is calling a person a cow this is a putdown.  The term means that someone is fat, obese, or generally an ugly person.  In English the vulgar words people use can hurt a lot.

Answer

It usually means fat.
