An Abo is an immigrant in Sweden (especially of Middle-eastern or African descent) who often uses the term "abow" in day-to-day conversations with other Abos, hence the name "Abo". The name is the same irrespective of gender.

The word is most often used to express feelings such as dissatisfaction or shock, and could be used instead of words like "shit", "hell", and "seriously". "Abow" could also be used as a filler word, or just as anything that suits the conversation.

The word "abow" is not of Swedish origin, but rather of "Blattesvenska" or correspondingly, Suburban Swedish: a sociolect commonly used by first-generation and second-generation immigrants in the suburbs of Sweden.
"Abow, bror. Du fattar walla jag kommer kutta dig bror. Abow mannen" - Abow, brother. You understand wallah I'm going to cut you, brother. Abow, man.

"Jag måste plugga men jag pallar inte. Abow, bror, walla jag har cash ska vi dra på donken bror". - I have to study but I don't want to. Abow, brother, wallah I have cash shall we go to Mcdonalds brother?
