Anachronistic Cowboy

I have heard of someone who describes himself as an "Anachronistic Cowboy". I have often wondered about that. Let's define it: Anachronistic means: 1): The representation of someone as existing or something as happening in other than chronological, proper, or historical order. 2): One that is out of its proper or chronological order, especially a person or practice that belongs to an earlier time. Cowboy means: 1): a boy who took care of cows. 2:) (In the modern context - slang) A reckless person, such as a driver, pilot, or manager, who ignores potential risks. An amusing and actually quite disturbing definition of someone's reality. A self given title which is arrogant, swaggering with just a touch of misplaced bravura and is of a person who otherwise might be decribed by many who know of him as simply: a coward.
