Jack was almost always on pins and needles around Ennis because of his volatility.

"W" is western-style

Jack and Ennis wear western-style clothing:  well-worn jeans, cowboy boots, snapped (sometimes buttoned) shirts and cowboy hats.

"Y" is yippee-ti-yi-yo

Rufus Wainwright sings "Git along little doggies," which is part of a traditional cowboy song that actually goes, "yippee-ti-yi-yo, git along lil doggies."

"For just a few seconds, we get a glimpse of the urban nightscape that was the locus of the very gay movies that might have been playing, in big cities, at the moment when the scene takes place—movies like "Nighthawks" and "Taxi zum Klo", in which sexual profligacy is at once celebrated as a form of liberation and mourned as a pallid substitute for meaningful connection."
From Slate: Men in love - is Brokeback Mountain a gay film? by D. Leavitt http://www.slate.com/id/2131865/

Jack is proudly carrying his bull-riding buckle and his gear to his old pickup.
A photographer yells at him.
Photographer:  Jack...Jack...we need to get pictures of all you winners before anybody leaves....   [screenplay]

"B" is baler

Ennis couldn't meet Jack in August, he said, because, for one, he had to run the baler.

"C" is contortionistic

"The dried blood on the sleeve was his own blood, a gushing nosebleed on the last afternoon on the mountain when Jack, in their contortionistic grappling and wrestling, had slammed Ennis's nose hard with his knee."
(From the short story)

"D" is disappointments
« Reply #5699 on: August 06, 2006, 03:04:40 pm »
Not surprisingly, the first coupling comes a few hours after Del Mar finally opens up and both cowboys share the disappointments of their youth.       Quiet mastery .. JWR.
