"How now brown cow" is a phrase used in elocution teaching to demonstrate rounded vowel sounds. Each "ow" sound in the phrase represents the diphthong. Although spelled "ow" in these four words, this same diphthong is also spelled "ou". Some examples of these homophonics are the English words "house", "blouse", "noun", and "cloud". The use of the phrase "how now brown cow" in teaching elocution can be dated back to at least 1926.

Only problem is they seem to no longer teach elocution these days.
Just another cut back, I guess along with home economics and shops, heck when I was in high school they cut all sports so we had a nice big gym that grew moss.

Heck stand on any street corner and try to interpret most conversations.
If you think the English language is suffering you should travel Quebec and experience the local French dialects mostly mixed in with cannabolized English.
