an erection. After National Review editor Rich Lowry, who famously wrote of Sarah Palin's performance in the 2008 vice presidential debate: "I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America."
Just thinking about Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands War gives me a lowry.

If your lowry lasts longer than four hours, consult a physician.

Crap, bullshit, shit ... all of them in one!
Man stop With all that Lowry
Lowry by Smart Brit June 1, 2018
Lowry is a strong, confident, independent woman who needs no one to tell her what to do. She'll do what she wants without thinking twice. She's tall, beautiful, and could be on the cover of Vogue. She's talented all around. She involves herself in all that she does and sometimes over extends herself, but she can handle it. But, there's also a side to her that most people don't know about. She has a soft and sensitive side that not anyone other than those close to her will ever see. While she can sometimes be rough around the edges when you first meet her, she is really one of your best friends. Lowry, all around, is just a great person.
"Wow, she's so hot. She must be Lowry."

Lowry Crossing 

A small Texas town in the Northern DFW metroplex known for it's abundant liquor stores, firework stands, helicopter pad, unregulated food stands, and lack of zoning laws. The poorly maintained roads and lack of street signs ensure passage through the city limits will be awkward for non-residents.
Dude 1: Hey man, I think my car is pulling to the left.

Dude 2: You don't remember hitting that massive pot hole last night on Bridgefarmer Road?

Dude 1: Oh yeah, I was wicked hammered and we wanted some fireworks and snow cones, so we went to liquor crossing.

Dude 2: You mean Lowry Crossing?

Dude 1: Yeah, I am still hungover.
