Java is also a place (yes I know coffe cups are much part of the imagery). Fish swims in the ocean. Pig is an animal. These do not really compare.

Your half right about the devils.

Beef however is per definition a cow killed to be eaten.

As far as I’m concerned beef is reddish organic matter. No cow has to be involved (though they often are).

Wouldn’t reddish organic matter just be “red meat”? Or do you consider, for example, lamb to be a type of beef?
