Cowboys loved a colorful phrase! Tinkers were traveling salesmen who often brought gossip. Cowboys used this phrase to mean news that was already known, something that has been told before.
Some slang words for news are buzz and goss (short for gossip).
A cowboy slang word for meeting is "roundup." This term originally referred to the gathering of cattle but has since been used more broadly to describe a gathering of people for discussion or social purposes. Cowboys would often "round up" their fellow ranchers or friends to share stories and news.
In cowboy slang, a "chuck-line rider" refers to a cowboy who travels between cow camps to deliver messages, mail, or supplies. Chuck-line riders played a crucial role in communication and logistics within a cattle drive operation, ensuring that information and goods were efficiently relayed between different camps. The term "chuck-line" likely comes from the chuckwagon, where food or "chuck" was prepared for the cowboys.
