"Y" is yawper

Here is the replacement "Y" word:

While working up on Brokeback Mountain, Jack was a bigger yawper than Ennis.  Jack complained about the four-hour commute, the sleep-with-the-sheep order, and the smell of the pup tent.

[The next letter is "H".]

"H" is hobbledehoy

When Ennis punched Jack on the hill, he was behaving like a hobbledehoy.

1. [n] - an awkward bad-mannered adolescent boy

hobbledehoy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
A hobbledehoy (from an old Scots word) is an awkward rustic adolescent boy or teenager. A hobbledehoy is naïve, gawky, and shy around women. He is neither a boy nor a man, and so is also called a halfling. The root word hob is also used to describe the little men of fairy tales, like hobs, hobgoblins, and hobyahs.

The word hobbledehoy is used by Richard Hannay in John Buchan's The Three Hostages to refer to local rustics. Anthony Blanche in Brideshead Revisited mocks some Oxford undergraduates, whom he accuses of acting out their repressed homosexual fantasies by dunking him in the college fountain, as "hobbledehoy" among other things.

Ennis was often inarticulate, especially when it came to expressing emotions.

Ennis he was afraid to work for the power company because the juice might kill him.
Det ensomme liv under åben himmel og de rå men smukke omgivelser danner langsomt rammen om en ømhed mellem de to mænd.
The lonely life in the open air and those rough but beautiful surroundings slowly create a tenderness between the two men.

Jon-Paul Khouri played a hippy in a filmed scene from the movie which ended up on the cutting room floor.

Will, it won't be the same around here without you.  Take good care,

The mothers in Brokeback Mountain seem to be lost and lonely or dead.

When Jack did his mock-rodeo mating dance, he became off-balance.

It's great playing with you.  You're a chef d'oeuvre yourself.
