cowboylike
Like a wrangler
Resembling or characteristic of a cowboy—the rugged, independent figure of the American West.
The word suggests qualities associated with cowboys: toughness, self-reliance, or a freewheeling disregard for rules.
His cowboylike swagger irritated the buttoned-up executives.
Often carries the same ambivalence as cowboy itself—admiring the boldness or criticizing the recklessness.
