Powder Cowboy™

noun
def 1. a snowboarder, from an original group (or "crew") of snowboarders from the Glenwood Springs, Colorado area, circa 1993.

def 2. any friend or powder-poaching, treeriding cohort of the original group, who is promoted into the fraternal order of Powder Cowboys™, by an original Powder Cowboy™ member.

def 3. a cattle rancher who uses cocaine recreationally, not to be confused with the first two definitions.

note: some Canadians also came up with "Powder Cowboy" to brand their (apparently epic) backcountry snowboarding guide company, years after the original group of Coloradans were already making shirts and apparel. Just to be clear. However, the original group would be more than happy to make friends with the Canadian group, and allow them to continue to use their name, in exchange for free riding and guide service at their location. :)
Looks like a Powder Cowboy™ cut the rope, and made tracks over in that closed area.

He is typically shallow, dresses the part but lacks the communicative skills to exchange banter with other scenesters and skater wannabes.

2.) Verb: the act of slapping another person like a horse. Similar to a bitchslap or pimpslap except the victim lets out a verbal expression similar to a horse.
1.) Hey Ashton, see that sucker who just parked his truck and now he's skating? That's a cowboypunk if I ever did see one. What a asshat!

2.) I saw that artsy scenester dude at the coffee shop get cowboypunked by some emo girl! Cowboypunked for fudge cake!!! I thought his teeth were going to fall out. You had to be there.

Brown Dirt Cowboy

I recall this from my own childhood in England. We would always become a "character" as we were playing. One day it might be "Rocketman" - another day it might be "Captain Fantastic" and another day it might be just a brown dirt cowboy. We could make up our own names, too.

Superman, Batman, the Lone Ranger, whomever.
