Terminology proposal: aquatic bovine vs. sea cow

I keep trying to use aquatic bovine in normal conversation and people look at me like I brought a clipboard to a cookout.

Sea cow is what witnesses say first. Aquatic bovine is what we use when we want the file to survive review and not get turned into a meme by the second reply.

Proposal: public pages can say sea cow. Case notes can say aquatic bovine. Nobody has to pretend this is elegant. We are already on a forum about cows using water, dignity left the room ages ago.
