I've never heard "strong as a bull" only "strong as an ox."

Kids do say the darndest things, eh?

The prologue to Act I of Romeo & Juliet refers to "the fatal loins" of the two warring families producing the two young people whose deaths will end the feud. Part of my job is to analyze the prologue with my wide-eyed freshmen. Thank God for circumlocution!

I was wondering if you were going to tell them the real difference between a bull and an ox--that would give the boys pause...

I've always wondered why "cattle" doesn't have a singular non-gendered word in English. It would make the discussion easier.
