Etymological naughtiness
Today NPR referred to the manatee by its common nickname, the "sea cow". I will confess my complete ignorance w.r.t. the manatee, so hopefully a marine biologist can clear this up for me: do manatees have comically large nipples? If not, then why "sea cow"?Posted by Jeffrey at June 8, 2005 6:21 PM
