I'm sure it's been in common parlance for longer than this, but my other
online home at www.b3ta.com (currently offline for upgrades) coined the term
'orking' for a picture of an animal that had its nose too close to the
camera lens, and from that the 'new' term of a cow-orker was born, but from
sniffing around USENET archives it seems it's been around for longer than
the last couple of years :)
