BOWRY means the BOY’S own. That is the boy’s and his ancestral properties which a girl and her father see in the boy before the girl’s marriage to the boy. It's just the opposite of dowry.
I was coined by Vivek Singh owner and publisher of newsofx.com
These days the girl and her family want a guy who already owns a nice car. That way the girl doesn’t need to face any problems just after marriage. That's a form of Bowry.
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.
