One who orks cows, or one who works just down the hall.

I first met "cow-orker" on the Copyediting mailing list, many years ago,
and have been flinging it wildly ever since. (Geoff, who lived there and
on many other lists, is rolling his eyes, I can tell. ;->  )
I found that I much prefer cow-orker to co-worker or coworker. I think
we should all adopt it. 
Say it with me now: cow-orker.   Cow-ORKer.       
EmPHAsis on the middle syllABle.
I sense a groundswell movement in the making... or possible just gas.
