Cowboy Death

Used to describe the inordinate amount of time in can take for an extremely pissed person to stop talking and fall asleep. Derived from old cowboy films where a hero was shot and would then talk about life and the universe for ages in an attempt to give their death meaning and generate sympathy.

I wish he'd shut the fuck up and stop with the Cowboy Death.

Death cowboy

Someone who rides the line between life and death, sometimes switching between the two repeatedly.

"your alive after that!? Damn, you go death cowboy."
