"O" is owning
« Reply #17250 on: April 27, 2008, 11:31:19 am »
Ennis tells Jack of his goal of owning his own place, then comments, "Me and Alma, we'll be gettin' married when I come down off this mountain."

Jack got pretty used to putting up with putdowns by his father in law.

"R" is reckoning

Jack came up with an incorrect explanation of the Pentecost; he confused it with Judgment Day, the day of reckoning.

"S" is simpleton

"Dumbass mule!" cried Ennis after the incident with the bear down at the creek, inferring that his equine companion was a simpleton at best.

"T" is tup
« Reply #17254 on: April 28, 2008, 02:06:32 am »
Each lamb up on Brokeback was the result of when a ram did tup a ewe.


Def.: v.   tr.  To copulate with (a ewe). Used of a ram.


Update - because I wasn't really sure if those lambs were actually the result of tupping, or of artificial insemination, I did some quick Googling on the history of sheep AI in the early 1960s, and now know more than I want to about AI in domesticated animals.  But I did find a satisfying sentence in a section exclusively about goats and sheep*, that I'm going to go with:

"Because of the difficulty of insemination, general management and low value per animal, AI, particularly of sheep, is not widespread."

* The history of artificial insemination: Selected notes and notables, by R. H. Foote, Department of Animal Science, Cornell University

"U" is unattractive

Thumbs up or thumbs down for Lureen's bleached blonde hair? Personally, I thought it was unattractive.

"W" is whoops
« Reply #17256 on: April 28, 2008, 09:40:06 am »
EXT:  WYOMING:  HILL:  WINTER:  DAY:  1964:

ENNIS and ALMA are in a toboggan, about to slide down the hill.

They start down, ALMA squeals in delight; ENNIS whoops it up.

At the bottom, the toboggan turns over.  ENNIS stands.

                           ENNIS
               You all right?

ALMA takes his hand.  Pulls him down into the snow.

Very young, they laugh, throw snow on each other.

"A" is antagonistically

Joe Aguirre looked at the milling sheep and said antagonistically, "Some a these never went up there with you."

"B" is blasted

When Ennis saw Jack's truck drive up, he blasted out the door and dashed down the stairs to greet his old friend.
