Anyone else think some rodeo folks purposely use bad English in order to confirm they are real rodeo?
"Yeah, that's what I seen and then I done a stupid thing."
The problem I have with such talk, is since rodeo sprang from ranching, it makes ranchers look ignorant.
What is with all the rodeo talk where words sound like the talker has a mouth full of peanut butter? Ranchers don't talk like that, not even in East Texas. I wonder if that mush mouth talk came from the days when bull riders always had a plug of Bull Durham in their cheek?
Now, another discussion is about spelling. While "you all" is commonly written as y'all, I submit that it is correctly yawl, just as it sounds. When a calf is looking for its mama, does it b'all or bawl?

A bull calf that was transgendered to a steer may have lost his balls, but he can still bawl.
