boñiga Explanation: Cowpie = cowpat According to Collins "Mierda de vaca, boñíga" Boñiga f. Excremento del ganado vacuno y el semejante de otros animales. (D.R.A.E.) I'm afraid that's what it is! as noted |

"cagada de vaca " or "plasta de vaca" Explanation: The writer is not a happy camper, so I'd go for an answer which reflects more "asco". Plasta is obviously more argot. References: personal experience, would you believe!! |

SEE EXPLANATION Explanation: Hola Roser! Este tema es algo penoso ya que los "cowpies" [traducción 100% literal = pasteles o tortas de las vacas:-)] son justamente las bolas de materia fecal que dejan las vacas en el campo que tienen aspecto de "pie" o "torta". En inglés no se escucha tan mal pero el único término en español que se me ocurre (sin correr el riesgo de ofender) es "estiércol seco". Espero esto te ayude:-) terry Oxford Superlex + Exp ..en los t�rminos:-) |

tortas de vaca Explanation: In my opinion it could be kept very literal to preserve the euphemism... Unless it is a letter or something and you need to explain what they are made of... in which case, tortas que salen del lado posterior de las vacas... yuk! good luck... |
