Cow topping 

The selective removal of the extremities of a cow. Such trimming can give better shape to the cow and will encourage further growth.

When cows grow too leggy, it can be helpful to lop excess growth, which will promote the cow to fill out instead of growing too tall and spindly.

Not to be confused with cow tipping, which is the act of giving monetary reward to cows that have provided good service.

Monty Don: In this episode of Gardeners' World, I will be showing the techniques of cow topping, using my small chainsaw and pruning secateurs.

cow tipping

The act of giving monetary reward to cows that have provided good service.

This is particularly common in rural societies, where cows are routinely employed in the service industry. Cows are not entitled to the minimum wage and rely heavily on tips.

Many cows blow their tips on their grass habit.

College Cow Tipping 

When one enters the dorm room of a sleeping fat girl and pushes her out of bed. Often the result of drinking or extreme boredom.

The pledges were told to go college cow tipping, so they pushed a sleeping fat girl out of her bed.

cow tipping

Mythical rural activity in which the perpetrators sneak up on a sleeping, standing cow in the dead of night and push it over sideways. Tends not to work for several reasons:

1. Cows don't sleep standing up (unlike horses, which do), nor do they zone out while standing up unless they're seriously ill.
2. Cows are quite heavy.
3. Dairy farmers hate this sort of shit and will probably bring it all over your dumb ass if they spot you trying.

Mostly it's a ploy to get foolish drunk people out in pastures in the middle of the night. People who've watched Heathers a few too many times might actually try it on their own.

Yee-haw! We gonna' treat you right, city slickers, with some good ol' fashioned cow-tippin' tonight! Finish yer beers and let's go git 'em!

cow tipping

The theorectical act of pushing a cow over in the middle of the night while it is sleeping. This is of course impossible since cows sleep lying down.

Tipping a cow over, though, is possible if you have a few other people with you. Too bad that you could accidentally kill the poor cow if you actually succeed

Bob went cow tipping one night and now he's in jail for animal abuse and property damage

Emotional Cow-Tipping 

Ambush of a person's lack of emotional awareness regarding a certain issue. Sneaking up from behind, saying something provocative and intentionally confusing, then running away.

"He was unaware that he was the subject of an Emotional Cow-Tipping. She knew all about the other woman, and dropped a verbal bomb right in front of him and his friends."
