I’ve sent cowson here, as the definition at the entry suggests that the reason this word largely fell into disuse is that it is too offensive or even illegal to use and that there aren’t enough opportunities to use it as an insult, none of which I think is true. I also doubt the possibility that it comes from cow+verb+in’, it clearly comes directly from cow+son. Overlordnat1 (talk) 12:34, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

I’ve made some improvements myself, see the entry and its talk page. Overlordnat1 (talk) 10:29, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
