I call them "coyote" without the "eee" on the end. Every time I hear someone say coyoteeee makes me think they're from back east somewhere or never left the pavement of a city.
Don't get too worked up over what other people call them though. "Song dog" seems a little over the top though.
The one that does make my skin crawl is "speed goat" in place of pronghorn or antelope. Gaawwwd I hate that one. That will get me to turn off a hunting show or tune out some poster or person quicker than just about anything. It's almost as though some people have to "use the slang" to prove they're somehow with the "in crowd" or "in the know". "Speed goat" is just too far over the top for my tastes. Fingernails on a chalk board to me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angry-smiley-055.gif Every time I hear it I just want to smack someone. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
