Verb.
1. The act of shafting people in the queue without seeming like a total twat when the bartender forgets that you're at the back of the queue and asks you what you want. This is done by turning to one of the people next to you and saying "This person was here before me." to the bartender thus shafting everybody else and looking like a saint to the bartender and the person next to you. This is called barlowing because it is the moral equivalent of making a song for charity and performing tax evasion.
2. A manoeuvre that allows you to get to the front of a bar queue when one of the people in front of you leave and the person next to you is also contending to get that space. This is done by preventing the leaving man from turning to face you and can be performed in this step by step procedure:
Step 1: Form a barrier between the leaver and the bar's exit. This is commonly done by putting your hand on the bar while facing the leaver. This will cause him to turn the other way.
Step 2: If the leaver turns too far away, the "opponent" will still have a decent chance of getting that space. This can be prevented by putting your other hand on the bar, and then sliding in when the leaver starts to leave.
This is called barlowing because while it is usually considered rude to turn your back on somebody, you'll be thinking "I want your back for good."

1. "Wow Dave, that was very kind of you to let that man go first" "Actually Nick, I was barlowing the queue. I was 9th when I arrived, but I skipped to 2nd!"
2. While Dave was usually a moral person, he occasionally liked to practise barlowing in pubs. He didn't feel any guilt if the person next to him was a notefold cock.

The greatest style of beer ever to grace the earth. Typically clocking in upwards of 8% ABV, this wine-strength beer is the motherlode of malty goodness, and is the preferred style of the highest echelon of cicerone s. There are two sub-styles, American and English, the former of which has more hop flavor and bitterness. As heavy hopping is appropriate in an IPA but destroys the pure heavenly flavor of this glorious beer style, a preference for American barleywine has been linked in scientific studies with brain damages, taste bud disorders, and early onset dementia. "Barleywine" is also generally considered to be a synonym of "life", thus giving rise to the common expression "Barleywine is life", or BiL for short.
Albert Einstein: "I just discovered the special theory of relativity, which Is the biggest breakthrough in theoretical physics in centuries. Also, I prefer American barleywine to English and hazy IPAs to barleywine in general."
Master cicerone: "Yeah, sorry to break it to you brah, but I think you may be mentally retarded."
