Barrowman 

A 'Barrowman' is esentially an ageing, gay pretty-boy and is an overzealous and predatory 'giver' in an act of manly love between two men configured in the traditional 'Wheelbarrow' position.
Example: "Hey (very) young Scott, I will pin you down later for some manly love after you have finished waxing your bikini line"? "Bagsy I am the Barrowman of stone tonight - you can be the naughty sponge-wheelbarrow!"

Barrowman! *shakes fist* 

a relatively new meme, spawned from Never Mind the Buzzcocks Series 23 Episode 12. The presenter, David Tennant (off of Doctor Who) would, after reading out an innuendo-based joke, would say "BARROWMAN!" (implying blamehood upon John Barrowman) and brandish his fist at the screen.

The meme now just represents blaming any problem you happen to have at the time on John Barrowman.
