This blog post requires a story to set it up…

While at a customer’s office, some how we starting talking about bad commercials. One that always comes to my mind when thinking business-to-business and bad, are the old EDS commercials. These commercials characterize and personify its customers as cats, squirrels, or airplanes (my blog post including links to the commercials).

The underlying message in each commercial is EDS makes the complex world of technology and consulting easier. The rub is that with each commercial, EDS pokes fun at its customers. This is what makes the commercials “bad.” While they are 1,000% on message and hilarious, they make fun of the customer.

After I shared my EDS Cat Herders as a suggestion on bad commercials, someone in the group said she loved those commercials for the same reasons. And interestingly, she looked up cowboy slang after first watching those commercials. All she remembered was one phrase, “Chew gravel,” which means “thrown from a horse” (see #33).

This got me thinking about cowboy slang and jargon. I thought it would be a fun blog post. I then curated the cowboy phrases from the sites listed below the list. Visit those sites to enjoy a lot more slang with cowboy/old west history as well.
