"X" is xecration

"You have no idea how bad it gets." This is the line we remember from the movie.

"You got no fuckin' idea how bad it gets." That is how Annie Proulx wrote the line complete with an xecration.   The xecration is in the 2003 screenplay also.

def. - A curse.

"Y" is yerks

After Jack puts Ennis' hand on his crotch, Ennis yerks to an upright position.

Def: To move a quick, jerking motion.

Ennis's expression says "zounds" when he encounters both a bear and Jack's right hand.

"A" is assistant

"Monroe, the assistant manager, comes around the corner just as Jenny pulls a big jar of peanuts off a display.  The entire display comes down, breaks, glass and peanuts everywhere."
[screenplay]

And all this time I thought Monroe owned the grocery store.

Monroe's bread and butter came from his job as assistant manager at the grocery store.

I also thought he was the owner.

"Years on years they worked their way through the high meadows and mountain drainages, horse-packing into the Big Horns, Medicine Bows, south end of the Gallatins, Absarokas, Granites, Owl Creeks, the Bridger-Teton Range, the Freezeouts and the Shirleys, Ferrises and the Rattlesnakes, Salt River Range, into the Wind Rivers over and again, the Sierra Madres, Gros Ventres, the Washakies, Laramies, but never returning to Brokeback."  [story]
