Ever since I was a youngin I never understood cowboy. A male riding out on a h-h-horse to go and rattle up some c-c-cattle. Now, if I'm not mistaken, cattle is plural for both bull and cow. So...wouldn't cowbullboy or bullcowboy make more sense? Or how about guy-who-goes-out-and-collects-up-bulls-and-cows-for-a-livingboy. Now I do understand that that is a bit much to say when you're describing something as non-complex as a cowboy but honestly, since guys usually like to hover around their own kind, bullboy makes alot more sense...hm...although it does sound like some kind of made up superhero from a 5 year old so I guess cowboy could make more sense. But then again cowboy somehow sounds more like some guy going out on a barn and rounding up cows and giving them manicures and reading them Nursery Rhymes. I can see it now. "Come over here kiddies and Uncle Paul'l read you the story about how the cow jumped over the moon. And remember folks, if you put your mind to it and truely believe, each and every one of you can someday jump over that moon up there". ...kinda like telling a kid to reach for the stars and watching them go out and starting jumping on trampolines and stretching their arms heaven bound. But I guess if you truely want to believe then you better start building your space shuttles and liquid fueled rockets before Pa comes out and gives you another lecture about the time he spent his days worrying about minor things such as cowboys...
