Cow tipping or cow pushing is the purported activity of
sneaking up on an unsuspecting, upright cow and pushing it over for
entertainment. The practice of cow tipping is generally considered an urban
legend, as cows do not sleep standing up, and the implication that a cow can be
pushed over and not stand up again is incorrect, as, unless injured, cows
routinely lie down and can easily regain their footing. The implication that
rural citizens seek such entertainment due to lack of other alternatives is
also generally viewed as urban legend, stereotyping and insulting people who
live in rural areas.
