Bull
British everyman surname
A bull is an adult male bovine, the counterpart to a cow.
The word extends to males of other large animals: bull elephant, bull moose, bull seal.
A bull is also someone who expects prices to rise—opposite of a bear—hence a bull market.
To bull through something is to force ahead aggressively.
Bull is informal for bullshit: That's bull and you know it.
Papal bulls are official decrees, from a different word meaning seal.
