"V" is vulgarize

So far, attempts to vulgarize Wyoming have been few; the vastness of the sparsely populated state defies developers and advertisers.

"X" is xcruciatingly

After driving to Wyoming on the assumption that he and Ennis could finally be together, it was xcruciatingly difficult for Jack to realize that he had misunderstood Ennis's intent with the postcard about his divorce.

"B" is Brokebackian

Wyoming, thanks to the story, and Alberta, thanks to the movie, each have an unmistakeable Brokebackian allure for those who love both works of art.
