<h2>doamer</h2><ul><li>doamer, pronounced "doh-mur". Slang, origins in West Phil- 
     adelphia and its southwestern suburbs, circa 1986-87. 
     Acronym for "Dancin' On Air Material", referring to the  
     habitues of an afternoon television show, "Dancin' On  
     Air", which  was broadcast on Channel 17 in Philadel-
     phia during the eighties and featured bland dance-pop.
     "Doamers" were those who listened to such music- at 
     the time, "Tiffany" and "Debbie Gibson", wore acid- 
     washed clothing, and spent time at the Springfield 
     Mall, an otherwise reviled lanmark of suburbanism. 
     Sprayed, vertical puffs of hair just above the 
     forehead were emblematic of such individuals, invar-
     iably female.
