Some fun thoughts on the word ox, “a word that, for many of us, is both familiar and strange.”

How often have you, driving by a pasture, said “Look at the oxen”? If you’re like me, zero times. We’re more likely to use ox as a word for a person who is unusually strong, stupid, or (probably) both: in one sense, an ox is a moron.
