Hey, I think I have this. (I also have anserinexia--or so I've been told.)

Me, too!
What is it about cars that inspires random outbursts - animal noises, reading of signs, etc?
February 21, 2008
reesetee commented on the word bovilexia
Trivet, you're my kind of person.
Well, I'll admit to animal noises, but I'm not a sign reader. Usually. ;->

Who said anything about cars? Doesn't "passing cows" imply that the window is in a building?
What do you mean, cows don't walk past your house?

trivet commented on the word bovilexia
Your office windows roll down, yarb?

yarb commented on the word bovilexia
No. But wouldn't it be cool if they did?
Architects: take note.

mollusque commented on the word bovilexia
If you moo at cows when you're not in a car, is it still bovilexia? What if you don't roll down the window?
Another vehicular bovine diversion is counting how many cows you see on your side of the road, versus how many your companion sees on the other. Passing a cemetery on your side kills your cows. Whoever collects the biggest herd wins.

There is a word for that, mollusque, after a fashion. See aboiement.
Is there something you'd like to...ummm...tell us?

mollusque commented on the word bovilexia
Well...I don't generally moo at cows, but I do tend to emphasize the "moo" in "moose" and "movies".

trivet commented on the word bovilexia
Mollusque, your game is much grimmer than the animal cribbage my family always played in the car. Sounds fun, though!

mollusque commented on the word bovilexia
There are variants: if the cemetery has a church, the cows are saved. Passing a McDonald's or Burger King halves your herd, but a KFC or Chick-fil-A doubles it.

reesetee commented on the word bovilexia
Now I want to take a road trip with mollusque. When are we leaving?
*still wishing my office windows rolled down*

mollusque commented on the word bovilexia
Road trip! We could call it "Behold and Low".

reesetee commented on the word bovilexia
Haha! Dibs on the front passenger seat!

mollusque commented on the word bovilexia
You want me to drive? I do sneaky things like passing an 18-wheeler just when the big herd is coming up on your side of the road.

trivet commented on the word bovilexia
Driver's back, then, please!
February 22, 2008
reesetee commented on the word bovilexia
That's okay, mollusque. I'll shriek appropriately.

What are you trying to say, sionnach? That this is a pecorous conversation? ;-)

After 24 hours of onomatomania concerning this word, it still makes me burst out laughing if I think about it hard enough.
