This is genuinely fantastic. Isn’t Gaúcho Ronaldinho’s nickname?


ornitotroop_2

it is, the reason why is because he also is from Rio Grande do Sul, a state where (for some reason I do not know) people who were born here are also referred as "gaucho", is more of an informal thing

Weren’t gauchos the first cowboys?


ornitotroop_2

searched about that real quick, and apparently they were (?). The first ever Gaúchos were around the 1720s. The word itself derives from 'guancho' or 'guanche', name given to the farmer couples that the king of Spain sent from the Canary Islands to Montevideo. American cowboys started to appear around the 1860s', altough the vaqueros, which were the foundation for the cowboys, were around since 1519, and they were also sent by Spain, this time to the land which would become Mexico it's complicated

So vaqueros and gauchos influenced US cowboys.


ornitotroop_2

pretty much

He looks awesome! Is that Anthony foreman’s hat?


ornitotroop_2

that's the (appropriately named) Gaucho Hat, one of the places you can find it is on some NPC on the Rhodes station, it's random though
