The Brokeback glossary: Acronyms, scene names & whatchamacallits
Fran:
This one's made more than one appearance at the ABCs game:
OMT = Old Man Twist
welliwont:
Did you want to add this one too?
Happy Tussle: the time when Ennis "tags" Jack and they fool around and then they **really** fool around ;) :D! - unaware that creepy Aguirre is spying on them.
not to be confused with the other Tussle. I don't know if there is a name for the other one.
PS can you please list FNIT, SNIT and TNIT as individual entries?

I've heard the other one called "the Angry Tussle." And also The Punch.

Meryl:
This is a handy thread for Brokies (hey, that's a term to add) :D
Important scene names include:
The Reunion
Post-Divorce Scene
Shorthand terms for some other scenes: Alley, Motel, Mexico, Pie, Drive-In, Fourth of July, Wedding, Grocery, Twist Ranch, Toboggan, Elk, Bear, Thanksgiving, Childress Dance Hall
Other terms I've seen used:
Ennis's snow dance
Earl Flashback
LSP - Low startle-point
EAP - E. Annie Proulx
WWJ - Water Walkin' Jesus
welliwont:
Oops! Here are a couple more:
LF: Lightning Flat
Brokeism: a line quoted from the film or the story. ie: "she is such a die-hard Brokie, she can't even write a lousy e-mail sans a brokeism!" The person saying or writing the brokeism experiences a fleeting moment of warmth and a small thrill, not unlike the feeling Jack had when he lassoed Ennis during the Happy Tussle.
:D
