chaos!

I had a professor in college who lectured us on ancient

Greek literature. One of these pieces was the Theogony of Hesiod. This poem deals with origins of the world, notably that everything started from Chaos. My little European professor had an accent that caused him to pronounce the word "cows".

 

He always said it quite emphatically, and to this day, whenever I hear/read/write the world chaos, I think of bovines, and my professor.
