"Rent-a-Cow":
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2007_09_23-2007_09_29.shtml#1190745573
A cool intersection of law, language, and unintended consequences,
three of my favorite topics, from the [1]Double-Tongued Dictionary
(thanks to [2]Erin McKean for the pointer):
[I]ndicating a situation in which livestock are deceitfully used to
make a residential or commercial property qualify as a working farm
or ranch in order to benefit from an agricultural tax provision or
subsidy.
