For me Runequest and AD&D c1979 hold joint honours. 

I still often recall lots of funny events (from Runequest in particular) that occurred the better part of 30 years ago.  The campaign background to RQ was so rich and colourfull it led to all sorts of great stories.

Oxen are what becomes of a bull after you cut off important parts that make him a lott less viril and thus less aggressive. At least that's the German definition. In general both terms are used for male cattle, though there is actually this "minor" difference...

Wikipedia provides:-

"Oxen (singular ox) are bovines trained as draught animals. Often they are adult, castrated males. Oxen are used for ploughing, transport, hauling cargo, threshing grain by trampling, powering machines for grinding grain, irrigation or other purposes, and drawing carts and wagons"
