Slang -- for many many years I have known boxcutters referred to as an "ox". I think a mention of this should be added to the disambiguation page.

Ox wiki article (Narrow sense of the word), Ox (disambiguation) (Loose sense of the word)

The ox article doesn't explain that an ox is any bovine, it uses the word ox only in narrow sense a castrated domesticated bovine used as a working animal.

If you actually "hate" that I listed ox to mean any bovine mammal on this disambiguation page, then you might be pedantic or you might be inclined to view a certain word only in one narrow meaning even if that word has other meanings.

So if man (disambiguation) has listed "man, another term for a human" which it is, does that mean that I should delete that definition because it offends politically correct internet warriors? Does that mean I should delete "man" on man (disambiguation) somebody is offended by that and find that its sexist that man is another term for human?]
