Used when a person is not a Cowboy.

Wild, impulsive, living on the edge and taking risks without worrying about the consequences.

A cowboy is the ideal American figure because he comes packing with two Colt .45 Revolvers, and a double barrel shotgun, plus a 1HP...Horse.

American colloquial (noun) the work of cowboys; beef ranching

A young, boyish gay male (boi) who dresses in the rugged, cattle-rancher style of the old West. This may be due either due to the guy's upbringing on a ranch or a desire to achieve the urban cowboy look through a particular style of metrosexuality.

Cowbois can be seen on the streets of New York and Boston and in some gay clubs and bars. Perhaps some have been newly inspired by cowbois Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal from the film Brokeback Mountain.

1. an adventurous hero
2. a hired man who tends cattle and performs many of his duties on horseback
