Blowie

"I said," my friend says on the phone, "I can call the cops and have you arrested or you can give me a blowie."

2010, Zoe Foster, Playing the Field, Round 23: The Enchantress vs The Press, unnumbered page, ‘A brothel. Anyway, they got kicked out ′cos one of them – not Josh – took photos on his mobile of some bird giving him a blowie, and she flipped out.’

‘I didn′t mind being groped by him,’ Crystal replied. ‘He was cute. In fact I′m looking forward to later; don′t I have to pretend to give him a blowie?’

Mouths are clamped shut to keep out blowies, with a slit at the corner prised open in case speech - preferably laconic - is necessary; miseries are borne with a stoical shrug.

I woke just in time to hear the first blowie of the day buzzing around. You know the night's over when you hear the first blowie.

The blowie was still hoverin around making random swoops on Boris who by now was well beyond caring.

There was always a mob fishing from the jetty, although nobody ever caught much — just trumpeters and gobblies and blowies, and sometimes the pretty little yellow-tail with their golden scales and blue spots.

Nat was puffing and heaving like a blowie on a jetty.
