This word comes from the Spanish 'lazo' (with the same meaning), which in Latin America it is also said /laso/ (in European Spanish the 's' changes to a fricative sound).— Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.57.11.175 (talk • contribs) 16:16, 11 July 2005‎ (UTC)

I have heard "lassoo" as a verb, with "lasso" as a noun. I have no source tho. :-p Tomer^talk 19:35, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

And I have heard "lassoo" as a noun. Webster's recognizes both equally, so I'll change it. Sluggoster (talk) 05:46, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

The Spanish

I have a problem with the following statement: “It is a well-known tool of the Spanish and Mexican cowboy”. The problem being that the Spanish cowboys or vaqueros don’t use roping for the management of cattle and horses; they, like the Portuguese, use a lance called garrocha. In fact Spanish vaqueros are called “Garrochistas” or “Lancers”. I believe it should only say: “Latin American cowboys”. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nortekman (talk • contribs) 05:51, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
