Vocabulary
A common or stereotypical name for cows
Bessie may refer to:
A common or stereotypical name for cows (including a Beanie Baby cow produced by Ty, Inc.)
[Wikipedia]
I would have simply written 'A common name for cows'. What further information does "stereotypical" add to the meaning, or what's the purpose of using it there?
