"O" is onomatopoeic

Occasionally in Brokeback Mountain, Annie Proulx used onomatopoeic words like "yips" and "burr."

Good observation.  Good "O".

Joe Aguirre:  "Now, what I want is a camp tender to stay in the main camp where the Forest Service says.  But the herder, he's gonna pitch a pup tent on the Q.T. with the sheep, and he's goin' to sleep there."  [DVD]

Ennis quashes Jack's post-divorce plans, since the Del Mar girls are with their Daddy for the weekend.

"That spring, hungry for any job, each had signed up with Farm and Ranch Employment -- they came together on paper as herder and camp tender for the same sheep operation north of Signal."  [story]

Aguirre used his big-ass binoculars to watch the boys underhandedly.
