"I" is impersonal

In a seedy alley in Juarez, it's easy for Jack to hire someone for impersonal sex.

"L" is loathsomeness

It was sadly easy for Aquirre to display a loathsomeness attitude toward Jack when he sought information about beloved Ennis.

"M" is meddlesome

Ennis thought that Alma was being meddlesome when she started asking him about his fishing trips with "Jack Nasty." (Alma probably thought she deserved a medal for putting up with Ennis for so long.)

Jack bitched about the noisomeness of the pup tent's eau-de-cat-piss odor.

{def:  the quality of being noxious.}

"O" is obsolescence

Both Jack and Ennis married women with marriages that almost had a planned obsolescence factor.

"P" is prejudices

"The social prejudices that rip through the foundation of Brokeback Mountain  turn love itself into the destroyer, a kind so forbidden that even speaking its very name is a moral transgression of the worst kind imaginable."

Story Jack's boots were "holed beyond repair", and in need of a good resoling .

"S" is sot

Towards the end of his life, Jack took up the ways of a sot; as Lureen told Ennis, her husband "drank a lot."

Ennis troublesomely told Jack that he would not be able to meet in August like they had originally planned.

"U" is uneducated

An excerpt from the Associated Press's telephone interview with Annie Proulx:

AP:  You've said this story took twice as long to write as a novel. Why?

Proulx:  Because I had to imagine my way into the minds of two uneducated, rough-spoken, uninformed young men, and that takes some doing if you happen to be an elderly female person. I spent a great deal of time thinking about each character and the balance of the story, working it out, trying to do it in a fair kind of way.
