> I had a cow-orker that

I'm sorry if my English isn't that great, but what does it mean to "ork"?

cow orker: n. alternatively: cow-orker

[Usenet] n. fortuitous typo for co-worker, widely used in Usenet, with perhaps a hint that orking cows is illegal. This term was popularized by Scott Adams (the creator of Dilbert) but seems to have originated earlier in a 1997 ScaryDevilMonastery.

I'm fairly certain they meant "co-worker"
