hello i wanted to know your thoughts on why cowboys are called cowboys when they don't even ride cows? why do you think they aren't called horseboys? my computer even underlined the word "horseboys" as if i had misspelled something even though horseboys is a rational and logical name for that particular profession. thank you <3
they don't ride the cows but i think they are supposed to manage the cows. while riding horses, to help them be taller and faster than the cows they are trying to manage
