ENVIRONMENTALISM: You have two cows. The government bans you from milking or killing them.

FEMINISM: You have two cows. They get married and adopt a veal calf.

TOTALITARIANISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and denies they ever existed. Milk is banned.

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: You are associated with (the concept of "ownership" is a symbol of the phallo-centric, war-mongering, intolerant past) two differently-aged (but no less valuable to society) bovines of non-specified gender.

COUNTER CULTURE: Wow, dude, there's like...these two cows, man. You got to have some of this milk.

SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

Word of the day:
Onomatopoeia

A word which imitates (or copies) the sound it represents e.g. splash (plusk in Polish) sounds similar to the noise of something falling into water.

Some more examples:
Hiss – the sound a snake makes
Sizzle – frying food
Buzz – the sound of a bee flying

Animals make much the same sounds around the world, but each language expresses them differently. English and French cows sound the same, but not in English and French!
