A store-bought cowboy. A "rodeo" boy who dresses all out but won't step near a bull or bucking horse if his life depended on it. Someone who brags about winning tons of rodeos but he don't have a buckle to show it.

A gunsel is when a “cowboy/rodeo boy” wants to dress all like one and act like one but their scared to death of a buckin horse or buckin bull!

As used in the movie The Maltese Falcon a gunsel refers to a young man "kept" by an older "sugar daddy". The word is apparently Yiddish -- meaning little goose -- and is used in the same way as the Yiddish word for "little bird" is used to refer to a male homosexual.

An ancient term used in the 30's, but coming back in vouge on the west coast, meaning a little man carrying a gun - similar to flunky or a member of a posse.

An individual that buys all of his "cowboy" gear at the local cowboy wannabe supply store and listens to atrocious music about pick up trucks and tractors, yet all the while is the sorriest excuse for a hand you will ever meet. He has never even seen a cow but calls himself a cowboy because he has cheesey boots, a Kenny Chesney straw hat, and a giant store bought buckle he proudly sports to hold up his camo pants. The ultimate poser and a disgrace that pisses on the culture and tradition of the cattle punching profession.
He says he's a cowboy but he actually doesn't know a damn thing about horses or cattle or how to drive that tractor his damn radio is always singing about?!? What a gunsel fuck.
