Tranquil, as in tranquility.
Used in a series of sentences: "The red-headed cowboy turns to his brother and queries: 'Tranquil?'. He responds affirmatively: 'Tranquil!' Still confused, he repeats his question, this time messaging with the furrows in his brow and the pitch of his diction that he's clearly not heard this word before: 'Tranquil?' Again, the same response: 'Tranquil!' Then, epiphany. Light bulbs going off. Angels singing. [Insert rancher-relevant moment of clarity metaphor if you got one.] Now the non-verbal feedback is clearly one of admiration for his sibling and his intelligence. 'Tranquil, as in tranquility. Wow.'"
Even if it sounds like I might be mocking, please know that I join many other Amazing Race fans in hoping these cowboys win this competition. Is there a simplicity about them? Yes. Is that ultimately refreshing? You betcha. Do I think that they are smart, well-balanced, competitive in a positive way, kind-hearted and a throwback to something special in today's fast paced world. Indubitably (or at least they are edited to be that way). If they don't win, please just keep the mean-spirited models from taking the million. Although, to be honest, I'd take the interchangeably-oriented brothers (which one is gay again?) or the middle-aged asthmatic cops (of the "can't we do a bust a house down challenge instead of this fashion one" ilk?) over those spoiled brats (or at least they are edited to be that way). Oh my gravy!
