how now, Brown Cow

Did you  know the phrase, which has sometimes been used as a lighthearted greeting between friends, was originally a nonsense saying used to teach elocution? It has been traced back to at least the mid-1920s as such, and has no real meaning other than to demonstrate round vowel sounds. This lady is the single odd colored cow in the entire herd, all the other girls favor basic black.
