Funny Western Slang (Winner and Answers Revealed)

I put together a fun little contest to see how well you knew your cowboy/western slang terms. You may be asking why, why would she do such a weird thing?

My reason, I'm writing a western romance novel (with a scattering of zombie mayhem for fun and added tension) and I wanted to make my novel as genuinely authentic to the times as I could (minus the zombie feature, of course).

First, the answers:

1)      Adam’s Ale: Water
2)      Milestonemonger: Someone who likes to roam    
3)      Dough Belly: The cook
4)      Paintin’ his nose: Getting drunk
5)      Get the mitten:To be rejected by a lover
6)      Texas Cakewalk: A hanging
7)      Windies: Tall Tales
8)      Rod: A revolver
9)      Fice: A worthless dog or mongrel
10)   Amputate your timber: Put down your rifle
11)   Doxology Works: A church
12)   Belly Wash: Weak Coffee
13)   Hay Seed:A derogatory term for  a farmer
14)   Rot Gut: Bad liquor
15)   Sheepherders Delight:Cheap whiskey
16)   Texas Butter: Gravy made with flour, hot water, and fried steak grease
17)   Fiddle: A horse's head
18)   Horn: A glass of liquor
19)   Roostered (I use this one in my book): To get drunk
20)   Honey-Fogle: To swindle

And now for the winner . . . drum roll, please . . .
