A buckle bunny is a woman who pursues rodeo cowboys — named for the large ornate belt buckles that champions wear as trophies. She's the rodeo equivalent of a groupie, showing up at events specifically to meet, flirt with, or date the riders. The term is part of rodeo culture's rich vocabulary and carries varying levels of respect depending on who's using it — sometimes affectionate, sometimes dismissive.

Origin: American rodeo slang combining 'buckle' (the prize belt buckle awarded to rodeo champions) with 'bunny' (a diminutive often used for young women who chase certain subcultures, e.g., ski bunny, beach bunny). Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
