What does RODEO mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A public exhibition or contest in which competitors show skill at riding broncos or bulls, roping calves, and other cowboy activities.
A rodeo grew out of the everyday tasks of cattle ranching in the American West and Mexico, when cowboys tested their skill at riding, roping and handling livestock. Modern rodeos keep those same events as timed or judged competitions, drawing riders and spectators to arenas across North America. The word is also used more loosely for any lively, chaotic gathering that feels as wild as a cowboy contest. Some snowboarding and surfing tricks even borrow the name rodeo for a spinning aerial move.
How RODEO is used
Common in North American English for the cowboy sporting event, and used more loosely elsewhere for anything rowdy or chaotic.
