Cowder

Cowder: noun. A beef chowder. Cowder is not too popular for not entirely clear reasons, though some linguists have speculated that it has to do with the negative perception of the word "cow" in the English-speaking world. Citing this hypothesis, several restaurants in the USA decided to rename the dish from cowder to bovineowder, thus killing the word in the last remnants of its traditional haunts. The word cowder is now artificially kept alive by encyclopaedias and weird blogs.
