Bring us your expression

What they say where you're from and isn't in the Slangtionary yet

You are adding to Canteen cowboy. What is already there stays, we only add yours.

Your voice

Say it out loud, 3 to 60 seconds. Reading it is not the same as hearing it.

Explain in a street-style audio what it means and give an example of how it is used. That is all we need.

Where is it said? Where the expression is used, which need not be only your own patch.

Real-life examples
  • In the canteen he’s mouthing off like he runs the gaff, then the manager turns up and he’s scarpered to the bog. Classic canteen cowboy.
  • Every break Steve is the loudest canteen cowboy on the floor, going on about how he would fire half the office, then the boss walks in and he is suddenly very interested in his sandwich.
  • Ignore him at the smoking shelter, he is pure canteen cowboy, talks about confronting the landlord every Monday and has not paid his rent on time in two years.
  • Kev turns into a proper canteen cowboy on lunch, banging on about how he'd tell the gaffer where to stick it, then nods like a dashboard dog when she actually asks him a question.
  • He's fearless by the vending machine and useless in the meeting. Absolute canteen cowboy behaviour.
The way it is really said, not the way a dictionary would say it.
