The expression "had a cow" is believed to have originated in the United States in the mid-20th century, likely as a playful way to express surprise or annoyance. It suggests a reaction so exaggerated that one might "have a cow" over something trivial, emphasizing the absurdity of the response. The phrase gained popularity in the 1980s, particularly through its use in popular culture, such as the animated TV show "The Simpsons."
