Ahh, a "drugstore cowboy", is like a manikin cowboy. They wear all the pretty "cowboy clothing", fancy boots, hats, belts jeans, and shirts, they dip and spit tobacco, thety can dance the 'two-step" and all the current "in" Country and Western songs. Some can even do rope tricks! They just never have ridden a horse, fixed a fence or worked with cattle. They liked to brag a lot about their riding ability, but their first ride was usually when we brought them along "to help". Another term is "greenhorn". They are the ones you tell to go milk the bull, and to get the extention cord for the branding iron, to make sure the horseshoes have extra laces. But they, like tyros, can learn, if they come back after the first day.<br>
