1. (noun) Latin name: Drewsius Powersium. A rare and intriguing species of ridiculously handsome young men commonly found in the Pacific Northwest, a typical Drewsius Powersium will spend much of his day at various musical endeavors, including (but not limited to):
-trombone
-bass
-harmonica
-guitar
-didgeridoo
-possibly ukelele.
His main diet consists of toast, juice, 1% milk, and the pizza he fashions while miraculously working his opposable thumbs. Half-nocturnal, one might, in a moment of extreme good luck, bear witness to the nightly mating call this species will sometimes make on their primitive cellular apparatuses.
