Cow comes flying over the crest of a hill and half buries itself into the ground, the referee writes into his clipboard declaring the throw void as the coo is dead and shouts that at the competitor who sticks his head up over the hill. (animated gif) In Scots: Ah’m scrievin doon here that yir throw’s void cos yir coo’s deid. (Coo hurlin’s no an Olympic Gemm nor a Hieland Gemm event, nivir was, and nivir will be). Translate: coo: cow. In English: I’m noting down that your throw is void because your cow is dead. (Cow lobbing is not an Olympic Games nor a Highland Games event, never was, and never will be).

Word 24 Scotstober. Coo: cow.
