Isn't it funny how recently

[with the release of Brokeback Mountain, and the Oscars which are on right now] how people seem to get offended by being called a Cowboy, moreso now that this movie has been released. Try it sometime, when you are in a conversation just say it slyly,
"Hey Tom, grab me that DVD" "Sure thing Cowboy" "Wha-"
In my experience with messing with my friends, at being called a cowboy they all took serious offense and made subtle attempts to re-enstate their masculinity. Its rather amusing, although it is childish and pretty meaningless.

The point is, with a made up word like releasal, that I conveyed communication. You probably knew what I meant to say, and putting the limitations of grammar aside, I was successful in maintaining communication with or without the use of proper words.

I think Heath Ledger releasals all over Jake's face in the movie.

Calling someone a fag usually doesn't go over too well. Cowboy now equates to fag thanks to Hollywood pushing their perverted agenda harder than ever. I hope cowboys across the land rise up and take over Hollywood.
And how come there's no cowmen? Are they like Peter Pan or some shit?

Correct use of real words trumps successful communication any day.

Neither that, nor the Peter Pan comment, I assure you.

I used to call people cowboy all the time, but I guess I can't now if I don't want a lawsuit.

No, actually I haven't noticed that at all. Mainly because I never see anyone calling anyone else "cowboy."
