the most famous party street in all of frostburg. if you live here, you drink. heavily. there is a party at 85% of the houses minimum....on a monday. there are most likley more kegs in these houses than there are schoolbooks. if you live on bowery, the only time you really get a good night sleep is after you pass out from a night of binge drinking, or on sunday when everyone is too hungover to move. this is due to the constant waves of drunk and obnoxious individuals party hopping, yelling, and running through the street....as well as the fact that even if you're not partying one night, chances are both your neighbors have a packed house. but we love it anyway.
after living on Bowery Street for a semester, i can count my kegstands in minutes.
An oversimplification of a point, concept, or idea, blatantly ignoring all normal rational reasoning processes and glossing over critical facts and nuances to futilely rebut a salient point with a banal, insipid non-response that not only adds nothing of value to the conversation but actually detracts and obfuscates, making everyone who heard it/read it slightly dumber.
It's reminiscent of talking to a cow, or some other ruminant animal that lacks higher brain functioning. Bovine level intellect + oversimplification = boversimplification.
Joe: "The Yankees may sign Kevin Towers to an advisory position. His experience in the game should be a big plus to the front office.

Lanny: "towers sucks. do u remember the the padres ever winning??? this move is dumb"
Joe: "That's classic boversimplification. Sure, Towers doesn't have a perfect track record, but who does? He's still a respected hire who adds way more than he subtracts. How can you be so obtuse?"
From Gustave Flaubert’s 1857 novel, modern Madame Bovary syndrome refers to a woman plagued with tendency to assume massive consumer debt in order to support a chic or extravagant life-style.
