Thought I'd start something new and fun in between my research posts - Western Words of the Week (posted on Wednesday). Obviously I really like W-words!
The idea came to me while I was researching cowboys and I found a bunch of funny (and weird-sounding) colloquialisms and I couldn't figure out how I could fit them into my current WIP (work in progress), so I decided to share them with you instead. :-)
Aftosa - a cattle/goat/sheep disease also known as hoof-and-mouth or foot-and-mouth where the animal is inflicted with sores in the mouth and hooves.
