"How now, brown cow?" ban đầu là cụm từ dùng để dạy học sinh cách phát âm nguyên âm tròn "ow" (từ khoảng 1926), sau đó trở thành cách chào hài hước thay "how are you"...

Farmers might finally be able to answer the question “how now brown cow?” thanks to Australian research that has shown cows can talk, so to speak.
In many ways, exercises like “how now, brown cow?” actively discourage (ngăn) speakers from improving – because they set odd and artificial (giả tạo) targets that most of us can’t, and shouldn’t, aim for.
As found in this very well-known English nursery (dành cho trẻ nhỏ) rhyme phrase, but rarely understood, how now brown cow, where the final letters of each word are hardly touched or stressed.
Start with a hum (ậm ừ) for a second or two, then open the sound out into 'ow': 'mmm-ow'. Imagine that you're going to intone (ngâm) slowly, 'How now brown cow?' but without the consonants apart from the initial hum – 'mmm-owow-ow-ow'.
