GUEST,Slag	Help: Cowboy Alphabet - suggestions wanted (55* d)	RE: BS: cowboy alphabet	04 Mar 09
Cayuse were/are an Indian tribe, I believe in northern Washington, with a rep for mean and ornery. And "ornery" is another good term. The song "Strawberry Roan" has some great terminology. If your cattle got the "collywobbles" you were in for a long night. If YOU got the collywobbles, head to the slit trench and hunker down. Worthless was not worth a hoot or a holler. The perennial sidekick of TV western heroes was Gabby Hayes and he could really run a string of purely western verbiage when prompted. One of his favorites was "I'll be hornswoggled." "Tin star" was derogatory for a lawman and "Tin-horn" was a swindler or a phony.
