It's like a 200+ year old vaquero who grows out of somebody's toe.

What do you call vaqueros in Brazil @Rancy?

 

[MANCID RILKO]

cowboys

 

[Lily]

Nah, in Portuguese, dude.

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Vaqueiros

 

[Lily]

I love how the American hero is the cowboy, totally borrowed from Mexico.

 

[Lily]

Okay, basically the same word

 

[MANCID RILKO]

They look a lot like the guys from the pampas too

 

[The Question]

They weren't always called cowboys in the U.S.

 

[The Prowler]

@Lily is a Cowlady.

 

[MANCID RILKO]

What was it @The Question ?

 

[Lily]

Yes, gauchos in Argentina. I think "huasos" in Chile.

 

[Lily]

The Yowler is a cocksucker everywhere.

 

[The Question]

Stockmen or drovers.

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Gaucho is also how we call people born in Brazil's southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul

 

[The Question]

'Cowboy' has at various times (Cochise County, AZ in the 1800s, for example) been specifically used to refer to cattle rustlers.

 

[The Question]

So the use of 'cowboy' today would be like if, a hundred years from now, race car drivers are called carjackers.

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Cowboy probably became the most known term after the cowboy shows

 

[The Question]

Probably. I'm sure Annie Oakley's 'Wild West Shows' featured performers who got referred to as 'cowboys' to invoke the outlaw thrill of it.

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Yeah, or how hard drives were called "Winchester" in Brazoo in the 80's and early 90's

 

[The Question]

That's a new one on me. Why'd they call them 'Winchester'?

 

[MANCID RILKO]

It's a brand that was kinda famous here
