This is probably very naive of me, but as a Brit I don't know what the following phrase means - Jewish cowboy. The phrase, to the best of my knowledge, isn't used in Brit slang. I've tried looking up the phrase on Google, but can't seem to track anything down. Also, how offensive is the term, please?

The reason for asking is because, as some of you know, I've written a dictionary of slang for helping Asperger Syndrome patients understand colloquial English, and I keep collecting new phrases should there be another edition of the book.
