What does it mean to call someone "a cow?"
Again, this question comes from the show MasterChef. A person in the show called another person (her teammate) a cow and that person melted down. I want to know the meaning of a cow in this context.
I am not sure of what the person being called a cow looks like but when someone calls a person that, it usually means large or fat. Sometimes people call others cows when they over-eat but mostly it is used to call a person fat or large.

It's not to call someone fat, although you can say fat cow, or miserable cow etc. It is similar to calling someone a b**ch.

The meaning of this statement is vulgar. Usually if someone is calling a person a cow this is a putdown. The term means that someone is fat, obese, or generally an ugly person. In English the vulgar words people use can hurt a lot.
