Could it have been a blackbuck antelope? This is not a native North American animal but it is raised in captivity here to a limited extent; I think the name comes from the dark coloring + "buck" meaning a male deer-type animal. One of our clients at my first vet tech job raised them.

I don't hear "cleaning lady" used regularly as a colloquial insult here but in Texas it sometimes carries the implication that the person in question is Latina and probably here illegally. It's not a given, though; most often it just means that that's what she does for a living; it depends a lot on the context. I know plenty of legal immigrants and native-born ladies who clean and it's a perfectly respectable job. I'm sure Imus has cleaning ladies. I hope they all quit and make him scrub his own toilets for awhile. With his tongue, ideally.

I used the be a dishwasher myself. Nothing wrong with that job, either.
