The Blowmen were formed in a smoky bar in Bradford, England in 1982, when a failed speed-dating enterprise left guitarist Joe Canterbury, bassist Robert Meadows and drummer Phil York lovelorn, high and dry. It was there that they penned the first draft of their song "High Street." The Blowmen were determined to carry the faltering torch of punk rock into the mid-80s and out the other side. Playing underground gigs in West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire soon grew tiresome, and The Blowmen sought an opportunity, on a wish and a prayer, to tour with their greatest influence: Johnny Cash. Attempting to meet him at a Louisiana State Fair in the summer of 1984, they were dismayed to discover that Cash would not be in attendance. Frantic event planners were seeking a band in desperation, and The Blowmen, sensing opportunity, stepped up to play. The set they played resulted in the only known recording of their music, a live track exemplifying a rare and unique style and attitude of punk that pierces even the soul of a contemporary listener. Some speculated that their concert would catapult them to fame in the States, but, alas it was not to be. The same evening of the performance, Meadows and Canterbury died of a massive heroin overdose. They are survived by York, who is best known today for his solo career and his brief stint off-Broadway starring in a one-man show called The Blown Man.

Dude, when The Blowmen died punk-rock died with them.

Blowmento

A memento from a good blowjob. A blowmento is when you're taking a piss the day after getting a full service BJ and you find one of the girl's extra long hairs stuck somewhere in your package.

Guy 1: Dude, check it out. I found this blowmento wrapped around my wiener while I was taking a piss.
Guy 2: What's a blowmento? That's a piece of woman hair.

Guy 1: It's a hair from that broad I met at the bar last night, it got stuck in my junk while she was blowing me last night.
Guy 2: Get out of my house.

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.

I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.

Example 2:
“I think Dave is finally accepting his hair loss. He just went full caillou and shaved the whole thing off.”
