Get the Goat-rope mug.US military (specifically Air Force military transport) jargon ca. 1970s-1980s, referring to an operation or undertaking involving an unnecessarily large number of people, most of them contributing nothing or actually impeding progress. Typically used to refer to flightline operations where military brass felt it necessary to make their presence felt and impede the normal duties/operations of the aircrew, offering "advice" or "assistance" that was neither requested nor needed.
"We got gear up and flaps up out of Norton (Air Force Base) on time, no sweat, but Travis was a major goat-rope and a half. We had three times as many Base Ops types and ground-pounders in the cargo compartment as crewmembers, and the only reason they finally got the hell out of the way is that they didn't want to buy a crew delay."

Get the Goat Roper mug.A wannabe cowboy who wears their boots over their pants, thus showing their ignorance of the purpose of the boots. They are more concerned with showing off how expensive their boots are, than practicality. (You wear your pants over your boots to keep snow, mud, and shit out of them.)

Get the goat roper mug.When you are learning calf roping, you can accidentally snap the calf’s neck with your rope. Goats are less valuable than calves, so a goat-roper is a novice who is required to practice on goats. (I learned this in Lubbock, Texas, back in 1977.)
Yes, I know he does a lot of repair work for folks in the neighborhood, but as far as I’m concerned, he’s no more than a goat roper.
