Informal and somewhat teasing US slang for a Texan, rooted in the state's legendary beef and cattle ranching culture. The term acknowledges Texas's identity as the heart of American cattle country — where beef isn't just food but a point of state pride. It's generally more affectionate ribbing from other Americans than a genuine insult, the kind of nickname traded between states in the same way Californians get called surfers or New Yorkers get called cabbies. Texans themselves are often unbothered by it.

(uncountable, slang) beef.
