Cows in the sense

Cows in the sense of British 
bitches but with tones of stupid 
and maybe dowdy is a word 
I'd never use on women, no 
matter how English they 
act. It's a word I'd call 
offensive, but I allow 
its use on foreign cop
and detective shows, 
provided its either
"a fair cop," i.e. deserved, 
or the speaker is punished 
by being depicted as "low 
class" and not too bright. 

I know how much more 
that stings over there, so 
I figure justice served. OK
cow use - just this once.
