Cowlick? by ludwigsdiana

Cowlick?

I have often heard the expression but never seen it so clearly. This young calf seems to have two.
Nice capture, the wildflowers in the foreground are great

Wonderful… I don’t know what it means? I’d like too

At first I wondered what you meant- here in the States we call them "cowlicks" (Silly Americans- we dropped the "s"). My older son had one that made hair cutting a little tricky at times. They look pretty good on this fellow.

A nice bucolic shot. We call it "cowlick" here. I like the warm tones of this shot, and the lovely little flowers in the foreground add a lot.

Neat shot. Took me back to childhood. In the UK we used to call it calf-lick instead of cowlick and there used to be a boy's haircut that was called calf-lick too.

Mum had a grocery shop and one of our customers came in one day with her grandson. He had just had his haircut and Mum said 'neat haircut Neil' his Nanna said 'It's calf-lick' and Neil started to cry and said 'I thought I was Church of England' he thought she said (catholic) ha ha

Perfection in a photowith the low POV, terrific composition, and fantastic subject. FAV We always called them cowlick and it was fun to look it up for the origin of the meaning

Beautiful Bovine and fabulous perspective!

We call them cowlick. It looks cool on that cow but they can be a nuisance for people

Does seem to have two of them up there. Great shot.

I must add that the s does not belong there and I made a mistake, must have been in a hurry. Thanks for clarifying :-)

@rensala @beverley365 The name comes from the swirled effect left in the hair of baby cattle after being licked by their mothers.

In humans, a cowlick is a small section of hair that grows at a different angle than the rest of the hair on your head :-)

@olivetreeann @falcon11 @kjarn You ladies are of course right, I made a silly mistake, thanks for the correction ;-)

Great capture

Made me laugh. I have 2 since I was a child. I was always told that’s where the cow licked me😹
December 3rd, 2023  
Well observed :)
December 3rd, 2023  
Oh Yes! I don't think this peacel looking cow will let it worry her much. Love this capture,.
December 3rd, 2023  
@ludwigsdiana thanks for that - yup I had one of those when I was young. My brother told me I’d done that to myself with scissors!
December 3rd, 2023
