The name given to a hickey or a lovebite when your parents ask what the contusion is. Often tentpole wounds are obtained after a party/festival. The name originates from the similair hermatoma of tissue when a chord tent pole collides with the skin with that of a lovebite.

The term tent-pole refers to a broadcast programming or motion picture expected to hold up (as is the function of a tent pole) and balance out the financial performance of a movie studio or television network.
Father: Damn Bobby! What are those hematoma's of tissue on your neck? You been gettin' pussy?
Bobby: Do not fear father, they are but Tent-Pole Wounds, caused from the riotous handling of the tent we set up.
Father: All good.
