The lead singer of a band that can be of any of the genres of jazz, rock and roll, metal, blues or any of the like. The term is usually not used in the hip hop or rap scene. He is the one who is the face of the group, and usually gets all the groupies or first pick of them.

"Man, the frontman of that group is so amazing, the way he does his thing up on stage gets everyone hyped."

"Robert Plant was such a great frontman."

Words you can keep
A frontman is someone who refuses time and again to have anal sex with his girl. Because it's just nasty. Sure, the position's great, but what do we, men, actually get in return? It's just not natural...
Kevin, why won't you have anal sex with me? You're such a frontman.

A: Have you seen Rob theother day? I heard he's a real frontman!
B: Yeah! He's awesome!

An older guy that an older woman uses as cover while she secretly dates a younger guy on the side. The older guy is simply a "front" whom the older woman uses in public to help hide the fact she is having sex with a guy that could be her grandson.
They might seem like a happy couple but I heard he's just a frontman. She's banging some 20 year old.

Frontman Syndrome 

Someone who wishes they were the lead singer of a band. Thus causing them to over compensate by singing loudly in the car, hogging the microphone, or bringing their own song selections to karaoke night.

They also feel like they have the necessary ability and talent. However, they have no training and can play no instruments, but feel like being a frontman would be easy to do.
Dave was forever going to karaoke night at the bar to soothe his Frontman Syndrome.

Fronthand Backhand

The best fucking game ever invented. Players choose either "fronthand" or "backhand" and their partner slaps them across the face, either fronthand or backhand. First shown in the Key and Peele skit, "Fronthand Backhand."
"Yo Tyrell."
"Yo Lawrence."
"You wanna play fronthand backhand?"
"Yo man, I don't know that game."
"Hey man, it's simple, dawg. All you gotta do is say fronthand or backhand!"
"Alright, fronthand."
*slap*
"Ooh man! I got you good! You know that funny."
"Backhand."

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
