  • 18 Bentley

       1836. Brave; wild or fierce, referring to animals or people.
       A shortened form of the Río Bravo (del Norte); the Mexican name for the Rio Grande.
       3) According to Bentley, a shout of encouragement at "some public performance or competition." It may also mean excellent or well done, notes the DRAE.
       4) Bentley: 1929. Also "a bandit or villain." The DRAE indicates that this term may mean brave or ferocious. Perhaps that definition arises from the fierce, tempermental character attributed to many outlaws. The DM further notes that bravo may mean wild, angry, irascible, or irritable and can be applied to animals as well as humans. Some cowpunchers, ranchers, and not a few of the animals they rode or herded were considered bravo—no doubt a number of cowboys understood and employed this term.

  • 19 cowboy

       A man who is employed by a ranch to care for grazing cattle. The origin of the term is a matter of some discussion. The first cowboys of the American West were the Mexican vaqueros. It is likely that the term cowboy, like its synonym buckaroo, derived from vaquero. The fact that the earliest cowboys were the Mexican herders and that cowboy is so similar to vaquero in its formation lends credence to this theory. The use of "boy" in the term rather than "man" may be explained by the fact that it was originally used (before the Civil War) to refer only to young, inexperienced drovers who herded cattle. It may also have been a derisive or condescending term, similar to the use of 'boy' as a form of address (from whites to black males) in the Deep South. By the 1870s, cowboy became a general term to refer to anyone who tended cattle. Somewhat later (after the 1880s), the term came to connote a wild or uncouth individual. For instance, the Clanton gang, who battled the Earps, are sometimes referred to as such. The term cowboy has become widespread in English and is used extensively as an attributive adjective. Its usage today frequently connotes an impulsive individual who, through a show of force, attempts to resolve a conflict.

  • 20 velada

    (Sp. model spelled same [beláða], perfective participle of velar 'to watch; to keep vigil' < Latin vigilare)
       Referenced by Hoy as "a line camp." He defines it as a structure with a corral and a source of water nearby. It is located on a ranch at a point fairly far from the ranch's headquarters. It is not occupied year round, but whenever it is needed for working cattle or maintenance work. Sobarzo defines a velada as a periodical gathering of cowboys for the purpose of rounding up the cattle that are freely grazing in the pasturelands. The cattle are herded toward a manga, or fenced-in watering place, where they may enter but cannot escape.
