  In fact, in Florida, cowboys prefer not to be called cowboys at all; rather, they are “cowhunters” or “crackers.” The latter epithet, according to one of Mattson’s poems, is unfairly used as a modern racial slur: It first came from Shakespeare, who used it in King John to mean “windbag” or “braggart,” before the facile processes of folk etymology reinterpreted the word as a reference to the cracking sound made by the ten- to twelve-foot bullwhips Florida cowhunters use to guide their herds.
