Juxtaposed against their scientific names, the 1000+ slang words reveal the emotional and subjective nature of the slang, in both positive/nurturing and negative/hateful contexts. As the viewer navigates through the floating text, a cowgirl lassos and moves within the text, re-appropriating the words for her own use, echoing the viewer's own shadows within the projected environment. The ironic voice of a cowboy's "yippee" and "yahoo" accompany the viewer's mouse clicks, as do brief flashes of underwear and wolves.
