InWestern Words Ramon F. Adams gives one possible etymology for dogie, whose origin is unknown.During the 1880's,when a series of harsh winters left large numbers of orphaned calves,the little calves, weaned too early, were unable to digest coarse range grass,and their swollen bellies "very much resembled a batch of sourdough carried in a sack.”Such a calf was referred to asdough-guts. The term, altered todogie according to Adams, "has been used ever since throughout cattleland to refer to a pot-gutted orphan calf.” Another possibility is thatdogie is an alteration of Spanish dogal, "lariat.” 在美国西部英语中，无母犊牛被称为dogie 。 莱蒙·F·亚当斯为dogie 在 西部语汇 中找到一个词源， 但该词源的出处也是未知的。19世纪80年代，连年酷寒的冬季造成了大量孤犊，尚不能消化粗糙的牧草小牛犊过早断奶，肚子鼓胀“就象装在袋子里的发酵面团”。这样的小牛被称作dongh-guts 。 据亚当斯称，该称呼后来变作dogie ，“整个牧牛区从此用来称呼大肚子的孤犊。” 另外一种可能性是dogie 为西班牙语 dogal 的变体，意即“套索” 〔Adams〕American humorist whose column "The Conning Tower" appeared in New York newspapers for more than 20 years.亚当斯，富兰克林·皮尔斯：(1881-1960) 美国幽默作家，其“指挥塔”专栏刊登于纽约几家报纸长达二十多年〔Adams〕American public official who as an ambassador during the Civil War helped dissuade Great Britain from officially recognizing the Confederacy.亚当斯，查尔斯·弗朗西斯：(1807-1886) 美国外交家，内战期间驻英大使，劝阻英国官方承认南部邦联政府〔knowledge〕"Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence" (Abigail Adams).“学问不是随随便便就来的，必须热情地去追求，努力地去获得” （艾比盖尔·亚当斯）。〔Adams〕American historian whose works includeThe Epic of America (1931). 亚当斯，詹姆斯·特拉斯洛：(1878-1949) 美国历史学家，其作品包括《英国史诗》 （1931年） 〔burke〕"To makeThe Tempest a tragic and depressing play he was willing to burke all the elements that made it the exact opposite" (Robert M. Adams)“为了使暴风雨 成为一部悲伤和痛苦的剧目，他愿意回避与之相反的全部因素” (罗伯特M.亚当斯)〔Adams〕American historian noted for his nine-volumeHistory of the United States during the Administrations of Jefferson and Madison (1889-1891).

Cayuse is used chiefly in the territory of the word's origin—the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho—although its use has also spread into other Western states. A verb meaning "to buck,” derived from the noun,is cited by Ramon F. Adams inOld-Time Cowhand (1961): "What cowboys in other sections calledbuckin', the Texan called pitchin', and a term used in South Texas, though seldom heard in other sections, wascayusein'. ” 名词cayuse 源自太平洋西北部卡尤塞人的名字。 Cayuse 一词主要在该词的起源地区——华盛顿州、俄勒冈州和衣阿华州使用——尽管它也被其它一些西部州使用。 从名词引申的动词意为“碰撞”，被拉门·F·亚当斯在过去时代的牛仔 （1961年）中引用： “牛仔们在其它地区称为buckin'， 得克萨斯人称 pitchin'， 而在南得克萨斯经常使用， 在其他地区很少听到的一个词是cayusein' ” 〔opportunity〕"The best you get is an even break" (Franklin P.
