Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The cowboy one!
Hmm. I wonder how "cowgirl up" would go over at the centre.

I have never heard "cowboy up" to the best of my recollection, but I may try and work it in to my vocabulary now.
Ah, the Internet, mucking with cultural dissemination for years to come.
I wish that smile article had pictures of the various smiles.

msbelle, the Boston sportswriter agrees with you:
Insofar as it can be determined, the expression got its biggest boost from the 1994 movie "8 Seconds," a lame Hollywood oater based on the life of bull-riding legend Lane Frost. (Eight seconds is how long a bull rider needs to stay astride to win -- not how long it took the ball to roll through Bill Buckner's legs in 1986.)

I know. It might save me from sitting here practicing and looking like a nutcase.
Maybe.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hey, my email just crashed, and this time, it's not just me, it's the whole firm!
Who wants to help entertain me?

Okay, those decals I'd have remembered if I'd read them.
Shame on you, Jesse. Cowgirl on the outside, slicker on the inside.

Art Crawl!!!
So, do you think that the typical British smile vs. the American one is because they're not forced to smile ALL the time?
