The term "maverick" has been used by the Republican candidates McCain and Palin with frequency during the presidential campaign, but in Texas a REAL Maverick named Terralita has been claiming that the term comes from her great-grandfather, cattle rancher Samuel Augustus Maverick. In her interview - "These Texas Mavericks Are For Obama" - to ABC News, Terralita blames the cowboys who worked for her great-grandfather, who were supposed to brand the cattle and because their “drunkenness” did not do it. And since then, “maverick” came to mean unbranded, and from that, an expression for describe someone who stays apart from the crowd.
Terralita, a flaming liberal in Texas, also says that “[McCain] cannot be a maverick in upper case or lower case because he's not related to [her] and he's not independent of his voting record or of the Republican Party".
So if you were wondering ... what does the term “maverick” mean? Now, you now!
And you also know that the real MAVERICK isn't happy because the two Republicans are using her name as a slogan for their presidential campaign...
