A nickname for Iver Johnson revolvers, particularly small top-break revolvers chambered in .32 or .38, due to the owl head logo on the grip. The revolvers were once extremely popular for carry from the 1880s till the 1950s. This term was very common up into the 1960s used usually by older men, the phrase is seldom heard now. Sometimes used as a name for any Iver Johnson firearm but usually the revolvers as previously described.
Old Fella in the country store telling about his younger days; "That cat was comin' at me with with a pig sticker wantin' my money, so I whipped out my Owl Head and put it to em and leveled him out."
Young Man circa 1900; "I just order a brand new Owl Head revolver out the Sears and Roebuck mail order catalog."
Kid, now; "My great grandpa bought this revolver when he was young and passed it on to me, he was always called it an Owl Head...whatever that is."

group of young misfit high school students who hang out in the tech hall.
They are deep, caring, interesting, odd, hilarious, accepting, loving, and always have each others back. We all don't always get along, and we don't see things the same way.
But by the end of the day we need each other.
They are the colour, light, and darkness of the school. they don't listen to the music most do. They like to rock out, as well as like other forms of music. They don't care for preps, as they don't care for us.
They make you stop and stare at there dark "alternative" clothing.
We all want to belong to something, the owl kids are doing just that, belonging to a compassionate, loyal group of friends.
life it hard as it is, we really don't need people judging us just because were different.

The owl muncher typically is a brute who devours baby owls as an expression of his insensitive chavishness.
The application of the term to women is frequent.

People just dop't understand that Owl City is its own genre, and therefore susceptible to potential dislike, because everybody has different tastes.
Dream-pop - fantasy lyrics that might not make much sense to begin with but are so relaxing and beautiful to listen to.
Adam Young may not be like most mainstream singers but he has a special line of thought that's not like the barbaric and animalistic nature of most modern singers ¬.¬ so if you don't like then don't say anything! This man is talented!

People who are assumed to be lazy and/or procrastinators. However, they are the masterminds of Earth.
My Supporting Reasons:
~ Peace and quiet to focus (everyone else is asleep).
~ For all my fellow antisocial homies, no human interactions for hours! WOO HOO!
~ No distractions (i.e. media notifications, sunshine, good weather, people, sounds, etc)
~ More time to enjoy the daytime. Doing hobbies, talking to people, and just acting like a normal human beings in general!
~ Not having someone constantly peeking over your shoulder (that is, if you live with people).
In conclusion, Night owls are frickin' geniuses and deserve more credit than they are given. FYI, I'm writing this definition @3:54 A.M.
