cow tipping
Toppling sleeping bovines
Cow tipping is the supposed rural pastime of sneaking up on a sleeping cow standing in a field and pushing it over.
The practice is almost certainly a myth—cows don't sleep standing up, and their weight makes tipping implausible—but the legend persists as a joke about rural entertainment: Bored teenagers claimed they went cow tipping last night.
