idly trying to come up with any context in which it would make sense to say "beeves" (as in the plural of beef)

Follow

@pup_hime it would require the existence of a discrete 'beef' object, which afaict would only naturally occur if you referred to a cow as beef, and even then it's iffy

@autistikai the dictionary specifically refers to beeves as the plural of beef when referring to the meat

@pup_hime yeah but when is there ever "a beef (meat)" to be plural???
