Downlow 

Downlow is a slang term with deep roots in hip-hop culture. In its original usage, the phrase simply meant to keep something quiet or secret—to maintain a low profile. The very words “down” and “low” evoke a sense of discretion and intentional concealment, a quality that has long been celebrated in many urban and hip-hop communities.

"Back in ’95, the West Coast producer slipped a demo to his homie at the record spot, whispering, 'Yo, keep this joint on the downlow ‘til we lock in the distribution deal, aight?'"

baldy downlow

Ugly white boy with missing teeth who has to have a girlfriend and kids by his side to hide the fact that he secretly likes to be bent over and given it hard by another man in the butt. He has been this way for years and has to hide it because he talks so much shit about others and knows everybody will laugh at him. His girlfriends secretly know about this and have tried to remain on their side but he ends up messing up the relationship because he drinks so much and tries to sleep with anybody and everybody. Also has to constantly speak down on other females to make himself feel better because his butthole still hurts from the the big cucumber his girl shoved up his but the night before without using lube.

Oh he takes it in the butt? What a baldy downlow.
