Where To Watch
How well do you know Old West slang?
Mosey on over if you ain't afeard.
The Old West, especially as portrayed in classic TV shows like Gunsmoke and Wagon Train, had many colorful characters who used equally colorful language. Charlie Wooster, the ornery cook on Wagon Train played by Frank McGrath, always had some choice words for anyone who insulted his cooking.
On Gunsmoke, Deputy U.S. Marshall Festus Haggen (played by Ken Curtis) often had something interesting to say, even if half the time you couldn't understand what he was actually saying!
