Thread: Colloquialisms

My experience is that "Cowtown" is a reference to Ft. Worth, Texas. And "Don't Mess with Texas". That says is all!

Bandera, Tx is "recognized" as The Cowboy Capital of The World. Just ask them.
The river below is the Medina River which runs through Bandera. Really a beautiful part of Texas.

Not entirely. Most Canadians are proud to call themselves one, but feel that some others are messing up a good thing. The West and Alberta in particular tends to hate Ontario for running the show and Quebec for being different. Quebec hates everybody else because they don't feel they get enough respect even though they get the best deals. Ontario, strangely likes everybody else. Everybody likes a Maritimer, especially a Newf. Nobody cares too much about the north and they seem fine with that. It's not as bad as it sounds though.

This must be painful for you RT. My sister lives in Gatesville, TX and I know through experience how proud Texans are of Texas. I'm sure Utah is beautiful but Texans are Texans through and through.
