What does BRONC mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalNorth American
A wild or only partly tamed horse of the western United States, especially one ridden in rodeo bronc-riding events; a shortened form of bronco.
Rodeo announcers shorten bronco to bronc constantly during a broadcast, since the clipped word fits faster, punchier commentary better than the fuller Spanish-derived original. A cowboy who successfully rides a bucking bronc for the required time in competition earns points for both control and style, the event itself often called simply bronc riding. Ranch hands historically used bronc more loosely too, for any horse still too wild or poorly trained to be trusted under an inexperienced rider, not only for competition animals. Outside rodeo and western ranching contexts, bronc rarely appears at all, remaining firmly tied to that one distinctly American setting.
