Terminology Differences
Ranchers and farmers use the term "cattle prods" mainly to refer to fibreglass or metal rods used for encouraging cattle to move; the majority of people living outside of rural areas use the term 'cattle prod' exclusively for the electrified variant. Most ranchers and farmers refer to electric cattle prods as "hotshots" (this is an example of a genericized trademark; one of the most prominent brands of electric prod is Hot-Shot).
