Get the dembow mug.
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.)

Debows Goes
Kevin Debow was catfished by his friend and sent him a dick pic. He held his fingers on his dick with his index and middle finger on top and his thumb on bottom. When you hear someone say “Debows Goes,” you must mimic the hand gesture the same way kevin did it. The last one to do it is gay with kevin debow.
“Debows goes” said David
“Oh shit, Dom did it last, he’s gay with Kevin Debow” said Chris
“Fuck me” said Dom
