dembow

A rhythm or "beat" that defines virtually ALL reggaetón music. It is known for its 4-on-the-floor beat and bold intermediate snares that makes reggaetón music instantly recognizable.

The word dembow actually originated from a track called "Dem Bow," sung by Shabba Ranks and produced by Bobby Digital. The song featured the Poco Man Jam Riddim (which was based on a song by the same name produced by Steely and Clevie), which has the distinct beat that all reggaetón music is made of. Funnily enough, even though the rhythm itself was the same, the riddim itself rarely actually turns up in reggaetón music. Instead, another riddim called the Pounder Riddim, which was produced by Panamanian musician Dennis "The Menace" Thompson.

It had the same rhythmic sound as the Poco Man Jam Riddim but used different drum sounds and was intended for use with Nando Boom's "Ellos Benia." It was THIS riddim that has been sampled, recycled, chopped up, and reused over and over in almost all of reggaetón music to date. It could be argued that no other sample has been resampled more and has had such a lasting afterlife than the Pounder Riddim over 30 years later. Even if the riddim isn't directly resampled, reggaetón producers will almost always recreate the sound using similar drums and arrangements.
"Bailando sexy le doy el dembow, dembow!
Ella le encanta como le algo y le doy dembow, dembow!"

—Chorus to Wisin & Yandel's "Llamé pa' Verte"

Translates roughly to how a woman is dancing sexy and the singer gives her dembow (dembow meaning reggaetón music, the rhythm, beat, vibe, etc.)

Estrogen Democracy

Steps taken by a woman to resolve First World Problems, often related to personal appearance. A private decision, it must be made public and taken to a majority vote by her friends, via social media.
Example: Mary wants to change her hair from blonde to brunette. She posts her intentions via Facebook status and anxiously awaits the results of estrogen democracy.

Her friend Nancy and Aunt Flo quickly vote YES... but only for the 'Chestnut-Auburn-Cape Cod-Brown' seen in seasons 18-27 of Sex and The City as Carrie goes through her "independently sexual" phase.

But an overnight vote of Jill, Jane, and Mary's gay friend Chad from Bally's are an emphatic 'NO'. They all cite Mary's skin tone and eyebrow shade in the northern hemisphere between the hours of 1 to 3 pm.

Two for 'YES. Three for 'NO'. Mary buys ice cream and a pulsating shower head.

I'm a Hustler Democrat; liberal, but I think most porn isn't degrading to women and some racist jokes are funny.
