Welcome to our Weekly Western Word of the Day...or, as I affectionately call it, Western Wednesdays!
Waddie - a slang term for a cowboy. Most likely came from the wad of tobacco kept in their pocket for smoking.
Other terms for "cowboy" include "saddle-warmer", "saddle-slicker", "cow-poke", "cow-prod", or "cow-hand".
