What does "Cowgirl Up" mean?

A few of the moms in the parent pick up line at school have these bumper stickers.

What does it mean?

Hmmmm. Never heard that before but the term "suit up" is used on one of my favorite tv shows to mean "get dressed up in a suit looking good." So maybe it means that but in cowgirl attire.

 

[WDW Poly Princess]

It's the female version of "cowboy up", which is popular among cowboys/rodeo people. Basically, "toughen up", "be a man" (or woman, in this case!), etc.

I've always wondered this too. Good question.

 

[Linzybrooke]

Ditto what Poly Princess said! Basically, suck it up and do it!

I have my ideas, but it's likely not what they meant, and not soemehing I going to risk poting here.

it does have a dual meaning, and what you're thinking about is one of them.

Yeah, there's even a clothing/accessory/tack line: Cowgirl Up Apparel. (Horses need bling-bling, too!)

Darnit, I vaguely remember a naughty joke in that vein, but can't remember the particulars...

Same here.

basically it is the same as putting on your big girl panties!

also, I would use the term "suit up" to mean get ready for action. IE suit up to enter a burning building, suit up for a SWAT take down, or fire fight etc. I would use to mean get ready for a tough/unpleasant task.

My first thought was something naughty too.

 

[Pop Daddy]

Yep to Cowgirl Up is to accept your own responsiblity... To Put your big girl panties on, and deal with it.

[denisem]

AH HAH!

I finally remembered the naughty joke and it still makes me snicker.

 

[Rella Bella]

It means "Suck it up, Princess! "

 

[ZPT1022]

Mine too because that dual meaning is exactly what I mean when I ask DW to "cowgirl up".

Maybe DIS should send it to Brittney Spears, if it means put your big girl panties on.
