Dont have a cow ?!


Question: ok so I know what dont have a cows means, what I ponder is why do people say it, where did it come from who thought of compairing a human over reacting to having a cow, why a cow and not a ..... donkey or kitten or something like that, if anyone can answer this then you are by far the coolest person ever to walk to earth -

If you check Webster's first edition of word origins you will this explination: In early 1800's in Chicago there was world renown butcher shop call Slice'em and Dice'm Mike the owner had this one regular customer that he liked but got on his nerves. He ran out of his special T bone steaks early one day and when he saw her approaching he knew all the guff soon coming so before she could say a word he yelled: "Don't have a cow!" Many in store saw how effect it was preventing that one customer everyone in retail knows from mouthing off and it's still used to stop bouts of anger: And as you may have guessed th bit of BS came to you by 10 for Bob.

Having a cow would be a painful experence.
You would make a really bad face!

there are a lot of reasons why this could have been chosen!
1. It is humorous to think that a human had a cow
2. because it is one of the biggest animals with only one syllabl , so that makes that saying short and sweet
3. No particular reason maybe this person liked cows?
4. Having a cow would be painful....thus humorous?
5. Having a cow is nearly impossible its funnY?
...etc

But personally i think that this saying was just made up by someone who mught have lived on a farm and said it once then repeated it , then obviously Matt Groening found it and used it in the simpsons ...thus everyone uses it...Besides is that not how every saying starts (well not exactly with the simpsons) but someone makes it up and uses it then it is copied aand copied

The person who made it probably didnt choose cow for anything specific...i guess thy thought it was different

Also Dont have a Cow is what some vegetarians say as in literally dont have a cow (to eat)


BUT SERIOUSLY DONT HAVE A COW ABOUT IT! lol :)
