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. :ROFLMAO:

I'm more interested in your financial advice. 🤣
That is very sad, but OK ...

I went in to apply for a special offer, no interest, loan and the young loan officer showed NO INTEREST in loaning me any money, so I can't accuse the bank of false advertising. :LOL:

I tried quoting Baby Face Nelson in a loud voice, "Jesus Saves, I withdraw," but the bank manager laughed and reminded me that if I wanted any money, I needed to be shooting a Tommy Gun into the ceiling. Those danged important details get me every time. Fine print and specific details are my downfall. ;)

So when folks come to the US from south of the border, and are taught English in Texas do they talk with a "drawl" ?

Perhaps @DosArroyos can answer this. I haven't been to Texas in 60 years , so I can't comment on the current situation. I know from watching bull riding, that the Brazilians that learn English tend to talk like other rodeo cowboys but with a Portuguese accent.

You must have deleted your financial advice signature. That's what I was referring to in the earlier post.
