Ennis was stuck paying child support until both Alma Jr. and Jenny reached the age of emancipation:  eighteen.  Stood!

"F" is flattered

Alma was jealous of the attention that Ennis was receiving at Thanksgiving dinner when the girls flattered him by asking about his days as a bronc.  Stood (until after dinner)!

"G" is glommed

Ennis put up with Cassie, who had glommed onto him even though he ain't the marryin' kind.  Stood!

"H" is honestly

Alma honestly didn't know what to do when she saw her husband kissing Jack, so she did nothing.  Stood!

"I" is ill-fated

In his ill-fated attempt to carry out Jack's wishes about the ashes, Ennis wisely held his tongue when Old Man Twist refused his offer.  Stood!

"J" is jingo

Jack knew he could convincingly do a mock-rodeo dance, by jingo; he couldn't surmise Ennis's reaction, however.  Stood!

"L" is lily-livered

After Jack's death, Ennis had to live with the fact that he'd always been too lily-livered to commit to a life with Jack.  Stood!

"N" is nancy

Earl and Rich were tough old birds and took the risk of being labeled as nancy boys by their ranch neighbors.  Stood!

"O" is outrageous
« Reply #12838 on: April 30, 2007, 09:53:39 pm »
Taking a job watching sheep on a mountain was an outrageous occupation for two ranch boys in Wyoming.   Stood!

"P" is presented
« Reply #12839 on: April 30, 2007, 10:41:43 pm »
In the hope of a social night out, Alma presented to Ennis the idea of taking Jack to the Knife and Fork, only to be told that Jack wasn't the restaurant type. Stood!
