Lariat ??
Hi 2 all !
got a 1990 f150 xlt Lariat, just wondering where the name "LARIAT" comes from ?? I can not find this in any dictionary...
On ebay there are "lariat necklaces" and "lariat internet teaching schools" but what does LARIAT really mean.....?
Just a dumb question...
Thanks for your support.

As far as from the dictionary is concerned.......
Lariat
\Lar"i*at\, n. [Sp. la reata the rope; la the + reata rope. Cf. Reata.] A long, slender rope made of hemp or strips of hide, esp. one with a noose; -- used as a lasso for catching cattle, horses, etc., and for picketing a horse so that he can graze without wandering. [Mexico & Western U.S.]
Now I'm not sure if it actually came to be from an Acronym??........would actually make more sense to me.....

Thanks, guys !
that sounds interesting, could not figure that out by myself, got no US English dictionary here.
The F 150 is quite rare here in Germany, and it is a huge / big car compared with all the Smarts and Citroens and Fiats and Audis around. So lot of people ask me a lot of questions, 1st: How much gas does this car need? ( I can not listen to that question any more, it is annoying) and 2nd: What does this L-A-R-I-A-T stands for?
Thanks to your help I could give them a precise answer from now on.
