Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I had never heard the phrase "cowboy up" before you used it, connie, but having googled I a) want to rent the movie b) will use it all the time now.
We clearly live in different parts of LA, ita. I've seen "cowboy up" decals on cars and trucks for at least three years. It is very much along the lines of "butch it up", but less metrosexually.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've seen "cowboy up" decals on cars and trucks for at least three years.
The only cowboy car decals I can remember are "Save a horse, ride a cowboy." It's perfectly possible that "cowboy up" totally slipped past my radar due to incomprehension. I'm kinda like that.
Relatedly, I've heard "Save a cowboy, ride Jake." is rising in popularity.

Could she be more bossy?
On my own personal boss front, I say blargh! She's making me totally revise something that's been the same since 2002, even though the revision is not necessary.

Not surprising. The diversity of humanity and all. The Save a Horse ones are much more recent.

It is probably not surprising, but I have been familiar with the phrase "Cowboy up" since the mid-90s. I recall use of it around the release of the 8-Second movie.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Could she be more bossy?
That's what I was thinking too.

I'm finishing off my Christmas shopping this week, and would like a second opinion on these earrings for my sister. Is the color stone potentially too clash-y with too many colors? I love the design, but am worried about that stone.

I don't think so, Kathy, but then I am one who doesn't pay much attention to that unless I am dressing up.
