Vache

une vache = a cow

As an adjective, vache is synonymous for mean, nasty. E.g.
il est vache avec elle = he's mean to her

la vache! is an expression of surprise, admiration, anger, pain...
la vache, ça fait mal! = hell, it hurts!

And lastly, a couple of interesting expressions:
parler français comme une vache espagnole = to speak very bad French (literally to speak French like a Spanish cow)
il pleut comme vache qui pisse = it's raining like a cow pissing
