Description

Western Words has 5000 words of cowboy language as vibrant now as it was in the old American frontier. Within the cowman's figures of speech lie the rich field of his subtle humour and strength, unique, original, full flavoured. With his usually limited education he squeezes the juice from language, moulds it to suit his needs, and is a genius at making a verb out of anything.
