Europeans don't understand that to real Americans that is a compliment. They should hear what we say about them ---but then maybe they take that to be a compliment.
I have three uncles who are 'cowboys' *L* (All working in the building trade however! *LOL*)
Kidding aside, not all of us 'Europeans' don't get the compliment. :-) But then the Irish are more of the exception than the rule European-wise.
