'ere we go again. Not seeing anything usable here: [1] Equinox ◑ 22:37, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

But I cited it with three quotations.Lucifer 22:58, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

These appear to be scannos. Did you look at the physical scanned page? The 1904 one is particularly ridiculous: you think that somebody was sent an obese woman? No, of course it's a scanno for "fat cow": he was sent a large animal for meat. Equinox ◑ 23:02, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Hefers have been pestering men since 1904 and beyond so yes I do.Lucifer 23:54, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Obvious bullshit. Slang like "cow" for a woman was not casually used in literature of that time. I'm starting to think you're just here to troll. Equinox ◑ 02:52, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Yet more tosh. Rapidly approaching tosh-limit. SemperBlotto 08:08, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Damn you guys are saints compared to me, I hit my tosh-limit days ago! D: — [Ric Laurent] — 12:07, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Every single one of those quotations is questionable. The 1904 one is clearly absurd; the second one is possible, though I can't see the page. The last one ... the text doesn't support or disprove the definition--somebody can check the 1972 Treasure Island at 1:00:00 into the movie for that--but given that on the last page we have it spelled "fat cow" and on this page we have "my path" and then "mypath" below it, and "gallows for" and "gallowsfor", I think we have to assume that the loss of a space is a typo, not a spelling choice.--Prosfilaes 07:01, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

It's a very common insult.Lucifer 09:06, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

The common insult is spelled with a space. Equinox ◑ 12:23, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

And infrequently it is spelled as one word.Lucifer 09:18, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

... presumably by mistake? Dbfirs 16:54, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
