Jon Bon Bow Jump

When a prolific writer gets computer elbow, often referred to as tennis elbow, and then it happens in the other elbow. This sometimes chronic condition receives its name from the rock star Bon Jovi because the elbows are the fringe of the body and like Bon Jovi in a fringe jacket, 'bow pain can jump and have you Livin' on a Prayer.
Damn, my right tennis elbow was hurt so bad but now my left one is killing me. Must've been a Jon Bon Bow Jump!

Golden Bow

When a person bows toward another’s feet. The standing person urinates upward towards the rump of the bower, allowing the piss to flow down the spine and into the crook of the neck.

Dem Bow

Note: This is mostly El Chombo's research. I am condensing this for people that are curious about the history of the "genre." You can find him on YouTube. You need to know Spanish to learn from him.

Dembow (correctly written as "Dem Bow") is not a genre of music but a song and a colloquial slang from Jamaica. It means "them bow." The name was popularized by a song called "Dem Bow" by Shabba Ranks that was released in 1990. In Shabba Ranks song, he brings up a couple of social issues in Jamaica. "Dem Bow" has a racist and homophobic meaning. 1) "Them bow" means one bows to the white man. 2) "Them bow" means one bows as a way to have sexual intercourse with another man. Jamaica was an English colonized territory from 1655 until 1962 when they got their independence. Jamaica's society in the 80's and 90's and before was homophobic. This song presented these issues.

Shabba Ranks didn't popularize the famous (or infamous) "Tumpa-Tumpa" rhythm, that came after. The rhythm doesn't come from Jamaica, but Africa; as do the vast majority of latin rhythms. The "Tumpa-Tumpa" rhythm was actually popularized from a song produced by Dennis "The Menace" Thompson and the singer Nando Boom. "Pounder" is actually what the rhythm is called.

Urban Dictionaries TOS prohibits URLs, I would have included them.

Persona Amateur: "Este Dembow tiene flow"
Persona Big Brain: "Que es el Dem Bow para tí?"
Persona Amateur: "Pues es genero de música no?"
Persona Big Brain: "No es genero, es una canción. El ritmo 'Tumpa-Tumpa' que escuchas hoy en día se llama 'Pounder.'"

Bow and arrow

An archer's kind of weapon.
The girl that thought she was Cantaness from Hunger Games and thought her bow and arrow was a toy and shot the other girl with it at the swim meet laughed about it afterwards, it didn't seem real.
