Why do some animals have names for boys and girls which are different to animal names, but some don't?

Examples to make it clear:
Pigs are collectively pigs. A girl pig is a sow, a boy pig is a boar. All fine and clear.

Ducks are collectively ducks. A girl duck is a duck, a boy duck is a drake. So if you say 'a duck', you might mean a girl one, or you might mean a generic one.

Dogs are collectively dogs. A girl dog is a b!tch, a boy dog is a dog. So 'a dog' might mean a boy or a generic canine.

Cattle are collectively cattle, but usually called cows. You don't say 'oh there's a cattle in that field', you say 'there's a cow in that field'. But a cow is a girl-cattle, a boy-cattle is a bull.


Such are the things I am wondering this morning...

It is good to know that the 3 billion years of evolution that have produced the human mind were not wasted.

If you pulled the wings off a fly, would you call it a "walk"?

Thank you for the (unintended?) compliment, but I suspect I am not actually the pinnacle of evolution!!

Went for another test on my eyes the morning. The Ophthalmologist asked me what I could see on the screen to which I replied "nothing". While carrying on writing he asked if I was sure I couldn't see anything and I said yes at which point he turned around and spotted he hadn't turned the screen light on!

Off out for a curry to celebrate 18 years together for my hubbie and I. Luckily they said that they will do an omelette and chips for son as he wont eat curry.

Get a nice walk too in the bargain!

I'm actually quite shocked/upset... a friend of mine decided she needed to have an op done (and has now had the procedure completed) on her mammaries for "confidence", when she already looked absolutely fine and in proportion beforehand.

I really don't get it, blokes would trip over themselves for someone like her even before the maiming, but she never realises/accepts it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Even worse is the fact that another of my female friends wants to do the same, but she has a perfect figure already IMO... Gah!

Well that's the sublime pressure of airbrushing for you. We are supposed to look like Barbie dolls, thin, hairless, no pores, no spots/blemishes and huge boobs. It's ridiculous, I agree.
Only yesterday I had to patch Jen up because she'd shaved her legs...........her friends at school kept teasing her because she's dark haired. She's 9 for goodness sake. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

*sigh* Society fails. I've been trying to talk the other friend out of it for the past hour... she's terrified of the procedure, booked for Feb, so I'm hoping I can instill some sanity in her before then.

As for the dark hair thing and Jen, maybe ask her how she thinks she'll stand out in a crowd of peroxide? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Brunettes and Reds are the way forward - why be a sheep? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
