@@KowboyUSA I'd say so!
Lol
I would call him a cabbage-headed oaf with no such brain as ear wax, if Shakespeare hadn't come up with it first.
Santee couldn't agree more. 😅
Can you.do one on religion or horse breaking
My favorite insult is, "If he got any dumber, we'd have to water him twice a week"
LOL!
Where did you hear that
“I have got a smile on my face today.” “Well that’s good.” “Then the sight of you wiped it right off!” -Arthur Morgan, Antagonizer, 1899.
lol!!! 🤠
Damn! I need to remember that one.
Yep,Micah has that effect on folks
@@ramzpig1 That was Arthur antagonizing a random NPC, but I get your point.
@@ramzpig1 Micah, the reason Charles has to come tell you to go back to camp haha
One of my favorite insults in this vein is: "He's such a liar, he has to get somebody else to call his dog for him."
LOL!
"MY mule don't like being laughed at"!
lol
Now if you apologize like I know your going to. 😅😅😅👍
@Ecphantus the Pythagorean ....and Shorty ??.... Noo, '' no ? " Noo. ......'' sorry, Shorty.....'' uaawwgh !!!! ughggh...!!
Odd part, that wasn't a mule in the movie.....Regular old horse.
@@stuglenn1112 Yeah, that part made no sense. Maybe he was just trying to get their goat.
I love how these terms of endearment bring about such intense hugs.
LOL!
I actually have used the term "Greenhorn" from time-to-time, not to insult, but rather just as a way acknowledging that the person in question is young and inexperienced, and thus simply needs time to learn and grow, and once he does, he'll be able to handle himself better.
It's all in the presentation, right?
As used by the Old Timer in Grizzly Addams.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Anything like the different connotations of "Bless your heart?"
Nice…Dirty Dan the slack Jawed Dirty Rotten Card Cheat… oh a good one. Thanks for the shout out
You're welcome, Captain.
' Yosemite Sam' could have used a few of those, great stuff Santee !
Definitely!
On some of those cartoons the closed captioning actually works, so you can memorize the insults.
When I was a little child I came into the kitchen once and called mom a mangy varmint. I must have been watching Yosemite Sam on TV. I don't remember doing it. My parents told me. They told me I said, "Hi mom, you mangy varmint."
He did. Those are the ones you can't quite make out
"You old horney toad!" "Ize hate rabbits!"
When language is art. You slay with grace. Not necessary to be crude or vulgar. Great video.
True!
Well said !
"Insults (chuckle) Yeah...that sounds like fun." Ah, to be so blessed with friends so indulgent. Another great one Santee! Thanks to all the Ghostriders!
We are a rough crowd.
Well I guess I'll head to the saloon and find me a tail waggler......
LOL!
Thanks again Santee & Co. One of my favorite old time insults is to call someone a poltroon , meaning a coward so low as to hide behind a woman's skirts .
Nice!
A Deadwood reference!!!!! Finally!!!!!!!
Ellsworth doesn't dissapoint.
I've used a couple of these terms from time to time! Now you'll have to do one on compliments, my favorite is pulchritudinous! Great video Santee!
Great suggestion! That's my favorite, too, because it sounds awful. "You are showing great pulchretude today, dear.." -SMACK!
@@ArizonaGhostriders I agree Santee, great suggestion S.C.A.R. I bet some compliments in the 19th Century might sound a bit odd to us today.
No slack jawed card counting cowpokes were hurt during the filming of this video. (At least, not seriously.)
lol!
Yet many feelin's were slightly offended.
Very interesting Santee. I still us the term Hornswaggler. I hope the Cpt stays safe on deployment. Been there 3 times. Love Dirty Dan! Keep the great videos coming!
Thank you!
You love Dirty Dan? Well you’re the only one who loves that vasy, jollocks, gibface.😁
@@JasonL77 he's funny!
Santee, I think this might be my favorite You Tube Channel. I know I'm always excited to see a new video drop. Thank yee Pardner,
Wow, thanks!
Great episode Santee, and a big shout out to Dan . Real funny ending.
Thank you!
By friends will now be forever plagued by my new found vocabulary
LOL!
I ain't never snapped no whipper or swaggled no horn! -Desert Rat Rick
Never doodled no flap, either?
Hah! I love the T-Rex standing next to Marshall Cogburn!
Good!
I use some nineteen century insults at times, like flapperdoodle, etc., which has actually helped difused a situation. Loved seeing Dirty Dan. How's your neck? Hope the Captain returns safely.
LOL!!! Thank you!
Wang doodle..wang doodle😂🤣🤣😂😂My new favorite. A timeless insult begging to brought into the 21st century. Thx Santee!
Thank you!
Y'all Rock! Thanks a lot for doing these.
You're welcome.
What a quality video. Thank you for the serious research and effort!
Much appreciated!
Well if this episode doesn’t wang your doodle I don’t know what will!
LOL!
Giggity

Enjoyed that a lot 🤠 Keep after it.
Glad you enjoyed it
This was a good one. You made my day much better
Much appreciated.
Back home in SW Virginia I have heard some of these. It is Funny they traveled so far. Great Video, Thanks, Santee
You're welcome.
Haha! This was great Santee! I want to start working these into every day conversation.
Go for it!

You're welcome.
Great as always.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video!
Thank you!
I still use the term young whipper snapper all the time. That was what people used to call me back in 1873. Great video you muck rake!
Nicely done!
That was a great episode, now i get to think up insults and try them out!
Sure
Very awesome and interesting, yet informative video, I really loved and enjoyed it. I learned about insults in the old West, that I actually didn’t know about up until now. I also got a very good laugh 🌟😎💕❤️
Much appreciated.
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks 🌟😎👍🏼
So AGR logo checking the troops and looking over the ladies and Watt as well... A fellow lefty Santee !!! Really lots of work went into another great vid...Keep them coming !!!
Thank you!
Good video as always
Thank you!
@@ArizonaGhostriders you welcome
Got your back buddy salute to our armed forces just thought I would say that carpet bagger lol great video santee thanks for always dropping by really appreciate you 👍
Thank you!
Instant classic! So good to hear from Slick Six too!!
Yes
To bring one of them to a modern day approach, "You're family tree is a shrub because it never branched out." They kept it in the family.
LOL!
Loved it!
Thank you!
I like the timeless insults.... "Keep it in the Circus.....Freak!!"
LOL!
Poor Santee you're always getting into trouble. But thanks for the laughs on this episode. Those little skunk weeds
Thank you!
You Guys are Great
Thank You!
Great episode my friend.
Thank you!
@2:28 and @2:35 Cat Ballou staring "Hanoi" Jane Fonda, Lee Marvin, Michael Callhan and Nat King Cole was a good movie and definitely one of the funniest westerns I've seen since John Wayne's North to Alaska😁😁
It was really Lee Marvin's movie when it came to comedy.
Im an old school AZ boy...Glad someone is keeping our culture alive
Thank You!
@@ArizonaGhostriders I'll narrate for free, such are the cards. You have the message but if u ever need the voice let me know. keep up the good work.
@@jethrotaylor2441 Thank You! You are welcome to send me some sound clips of your voice over email. Check the "About" section of the channel for that address.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I'll just call ya or whatever, currently singing in PA, born in Flagstaff to an old AZ family... but I definitely have the Original voice. AZ has an accent and no one seems fit to pull their drawers up to realize it. Glad you're out there my man no matter what happens keep it up I shall donate to your channel
Thank you!
Welcome!
Cool video!! love the wild wild west!! Thank for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Now that is an interesting topic!
Thank you!
Love it 😍😍
Thank you!
Good show
Glad you enjoyed it
"That army sergeant's an ornery Jasper but his prisoner's meaner than a bag full of rattlers."
Yeah!
Christmas in July got started with wholesalers selling Christmas merchandise to retailers during the month of July. This resulted in retailers selling off existing merchandise to make room for the new stuff. Thus the term Christmas in July.
Phew, I was afraid I'd have to look it up!
....buying a new car, at USED prices, is coming !! Maybe in August, or later ! That 'chip' shortage, means there is A LOT of new cars, sitting around the country. When 2022 models show up.....what are 'stealers' er, dealerships going to do ????? LET US WAIT AND SEE........Mr Santee.....take care of your best, that Toyota Tundra/Tacoma you got.....best 'brand' of vehicles, anywhere. Honda is good, as well ! Good luck, all !!
At the Port of LA/ Long Beach, Christmas goods are off-loaded & warehoused for holidays in July and August
'Ceiling experts'. A humorous term applied to ladies of the night for the ahem, position they were in quite often. I'm not sure if it's an old Virginia term (where my great-grandad came from after the Civil War to Missouri) but my grandpa always called our feed cattle 'mulletheads', referring to their less than stellar intelligence.
Good ones!
I'm thinking Dirty Dan might know a little something about them Missouri Boat Rides.
In his part of Missouri they would just sink the boat.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Bwahahahahahahaha. Yup, very true. The first leg of my growing up was in southwest Missouri. Bonified Ozark Hillbilly :)
Hahaha 3:10 the longshot of the Cogburn Duel. I've forgotten its name but it sure was surprising to see it. Just stooping at the side and getting ready to feast on the ensuing carnage. What a guy/girl.
Glad you caught him.
Them thar insults are about as low as a worm in the bottom of a wagon wheel rut full of water. Loved them all
Thank you!
Good info. It helped to expand my vocabulary as a non-native speaker. I´m looking forward to an opportunity to use it on an approiate occassion. Luckily sixshooters are not common around here.
Yes, well....fists are still useful, so be careful.
Hey Santee, this is one super unique video! Never thought you can make a video out of this! Hahahaha
Glad you liked it!!
@@ArizonaGhostriders You continue to surprise me! HAHAHAHA
Good video friend!
Thank you!
I have to admit, I never thought of that. Good one
🤠
According to the TV show Deadwood the favorite epithet in the old West sounded something like "COXUCKER!!!!" I asked my mother what it meant and I'm still getting the taste of soap out of my mouth.
That's sure a common one.
Ha ha haa....thats funny! I once asked my mother about a very specific word scribbled on a house wall... BAMM! She slapped me very hard and growled: "We don't use such words!" Now, every time i hear or see this word i feel my cheek hurting...🤪
Cowboy 1: Hey, wanna fight? Cowboy2: Thems fightin words!!!
LOL!
Thank you soldier.
🥃
If your wondering what a stockman is, a stockman is the Australian equivalent of a North American Cowboy. P.S. I love to play old folk and country songs on guitar. Been playing for 6 years.
Cool info and glad you play guitar!
I'm still laughing at Dirty Dan using Santee's head as a puppet at the end. I did not expect that! LMFAO!
🤠
Santee, could you do one on tools in the old west such as lassos, axes and lighters?
Sure.
“Couldn’t hit the side of a barn from the inside with a scatter gun!”
Good 'un
That’s lower than a snake in a wagon wheel rut! Great stuff as always from the Arizona Ghostriders!
Thank you!
Pretty darn interesting stuff! I use a few of these myself!
Cool
Great one, Santee! Hey, remember the about practicing shooting in the Old West. Still waiting for it.
Yes. Waiting for the weather to cool down a bit and go to the range
That was so interesting and cool.🤠👏
Thank you!
Love vidéo ❤❤❤
Thank you!
Ahhhhh ha ha ha ha ha ha 😂. This episode was excellent. You're all a bunch of nafarious rascals. I so enjoy my Saturday morning watching of your episodes. Thanks so much, you hooligans.
Glad you enjoyed it, you malfeasant!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Ahhhhhh ha ha ha 😂😆
I wonder if they had the universal sign for "you are #1" hahaha, I can imagine someone flipping the bird at a saloon they just got kicked out of.
Maybe
When Grandma and Grandpa were courting in Caspar, Wyoming in 1919 and 1920, going for a stroll with your girl was called "rotten logging".
Interesting! Love the wording back then.
The best “ like and subscribe” ever. From all of KZhead even.
Thank you very much.
How about "Jasper"? Hear that one on Rawhide often
It's another term for "outsider"
Oh yes I'm studying on how to be as historically accurate of an NCO (Sargent) in the 1870s as possible for the trap door series. This will work perfect for that role
LOL!
Great movie
Thank you!
Hey Santee, could you do a video on moving pictures in the old west?
Sure
"Your Papa Rides Side-Saddle"!!.... Hahaha!
That's a good one!!
Legal parabéns pelo seu trabalho 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Obrigada!
Yeah! My favorite day of the week. Insults were funny then and I grew up on them!!!🤣🤣🤣
Well, then you have a tough skin!
@@ArizonaGhostriders 🤣🤣 My grandma was good at it! God bless my kids that have to explain to their kids🤣🤣
Brilliant Santee these are actually really funny insults they definitely had a sense of humor even if it wasn't taken funny in the old west, in today's society these are awesomely Brilliant thanks
Appreciate ya, Izeak!
Forty one years ago I was stationed out West. While traveling around in the desert I came across a dead body. Turned out to be a local indigent. Went into Gallup and alerted the police, took them back out to the sight. Keep in mind I did not know this Man nor the circumstances of his demise. Just a wayfarer. Local Cops' look the scene over, finally turn to me and ask "What do you think happened here?". I stared at the remains, looked at them and said: "Best guess is he died." I had no problems with them after that.
LOL!!!
🤣🤣🤣
I read a couple of Civil War biographies. I had to look a few terms in them up, like “Flicker.” (Flicker basically means to run away scared. Someone would yell “Flicker” to s scared guy like one would yell “Scram” to a guy they wanted to leave).
HAHAH! Good. 🤠
As far as I understood it, there were only three insults in the Old West: Cheat, Liar and Horse Thief.
Apparently not!
haha this was great! Hope you all are doing good!
Thanks! You too!
It baffled me to hear that the Old West was at the same time as the Victorian era.
Yes, the Victorian Era spanned from 1820 to 1914
"You sons of a motherless goat!" Pinnacle Peak is a great place for chow in Tucson!
Yeehaw!
Chuckle, Thank You, something cheerful to start my day with a cuppa Joe. All of your skits and videos are great. I have one question. What about the Iowa Territory? The Dakota Territory? You seem to feature the Southwest, which is understandable, but what about us in the Old West Northern territories?
I mention those territories and their cultures a lot. I highlight this one because I can easily absorb the cultures here. One day when I got to the Northern territories, I can delve into that more. BUT, gotta get to 100k subs first.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I understand, Thank You so much for all you and the ghostriders do. You always bring a smile to my face. Once you get to that 100k, Jesse James and gang robbed Northfield Minnesota, but he ran into a snag. He escaped, by leaping Devil's Gulch chasm by Garretson, SD. He hid in a cave North of there. The jump was suppposed to be impossible, across the gulch. I was raised near Garretson, and there are plaques and such all over the park commemorating his visit. August of 1876. northfieldhistory.org is where you would find info on the raid. There are articles about the Garretson connection in roadside america, and atlas obscura.
Slick sixguns no time no see ! Good luck captain and be safe! Now insults in the old west ! I must improve that department my friend !! Thanks for sharing amigos!
LOL!!! You're welcome.
@@ArizonaGhostriders You very welcome!
