So... Moop?
Cows don't pronounce the 'p' when they use the word 'moop' to refer to anything, but mainly grass, that has their complete focus.
Moop also refers to the music band formed by Stan, Kyle and Kenny in the Southpark episode 'Christian Rock Hard'. The band was originally formed to make a million bucks, but due to people illegally downloading their music this seemed impossible. The boys go on a strike to stop people from downloading, but eventually learn that making music for fans to enjoy is much more important than money.
