A mowhawk is a strip of shaved hair going from the top center of your hairline at your forehead all the way to the center of your neckline.
Friend of GF: What'd you think of his mowhawk?
GF: I know he's on the swim team and all and they do weird stuff but the week before Senior Semi? He better shave the rest for pictures.

A complete beginner at guitar. "Smoke on the Water" (SOTW) by Deep Purple is one of the easiest guitar songs to learn and is typically a guitar player's first song. A SOTWer is therefore a person who claims that they can play guitar yet "Smoke on the Water" is the only song that they know how to play.
-"Wow, that kid is such a SOTWer, he's been playing the same thing over and over."
-"Yeah, why'd he try out for the guitar spot then?"
-"Beats me, he's gonna need a few lessons to really learn something good."

A Smoker's Signature is a way to tell if someone smokes but this method is not 100% accurate but it can be used as an indicator that someone smokes.
The actual signature is that when a smoker sneezes they will not make much sound because their lungs can't hold in as much air as non-smokers can. Their lungs are often constricted as if they have asthma and therefore will not retain much air inhaled before they sneeze.

USAMRIID (pronounced you-sam-rid) stands for the United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases.
Based at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland, the facilities of USAMRIID are used primarily for research on counter measurements for biological warfare. Along with the next-door National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) and the nearby United States Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense (USAMRICD) they handle many of the biological threats that come up in regards to national defense. When a new infectious agent or biological threat comes up they are on the case to have the data on file regarding any incident that, again, may eventually pertain to national biological defense.
USAMRIID was featured in Richard Preston's best-selling book "The Hot Zone" which described the outbreak of the then-undiscovered Ebola Reston (which was discovered in Reston, Virginia but was not discovered by Preston since people say if you take off the P in Preston you have "reston" left). The book describes the events of decontamination of medical research facilities used to store imported monkeys from the Philippines. It was then discovered that Ebola Reston can't be caught by humans but the same virus has a 90% fatality rate in primates.

A "hang around" is the first of various levels of membership in the Hells Angels biker gang.
A hang around is described as friendly to the organization but is not an actual member yet. They typically go to parties, buy the t-shirts and try to make contacts within the organization to help boost their membership level. Hang arounds also ride with the group whenever there is a ride but otherwise they don't get involved in the organization; they never hold offices within the group and they typically do not participate in extreme group activities such as retaliation or gun trafficking.
