Answer 4

Dairy farms are considered part of agriculture. The Farmers raise the cows and in turn the cows give milk. Which would be a product.

Answer 5

Lorries are trucks.
Boots are trunks (car trunks).
Bonnets are hoods (car hoods).
Eejits are presidents (at least one is anyway).

And cowboys over here have nothing to do with dairy farms. They're cattlemen -- or just people who like to wear the gear.

Answer 6

Actually 'cowboys' exist in Candan, Argentina, Mexico and Australia as well as the US. Here we call people like you 'pusssy's'.
