I got a question concerning the english language which is not my tongue:

Does the perception of the word/nickname 'chewingcowboy' *) include
any negative association or does it sound even kind of offensive?
What is the perception of the word 'chewingcowboy'.

*) I did name my channel http://www.youtube.com/user/chewingcowboy
without thinking about its perception...


Thanks alot!

No, there's nothing wrong or bad about it. CowboyGeorgeW would have
been funnier.

It's not a usage I've heard. I'd assume if it is used, it refers to
either a cowboy chewin' tabakee or a chewing cow, boy!

Bubble Gum did not come to mind... If it's for a kids product, I wouldn't
use it :)
