Re: Help please with some American slang (warning - is possibly offensive)
I am unaware of this being a slang term at all. In Texas, where I live, a gent by the name of Kinky Friedman ran for governor in the last election, and had a large number of bumper stickers distributed, reading "My governor is a Jewish cowboy". This was intended as a humorous reference to a bumper sticker favoured by Christian conservatives, which reads "My boss is a Jewish carpenter".
I don't recall the term in any other context, & I have some acquaintance with even obscure obsolete slang, e.g. Philadelphia lawyer for a shyster.
