bye-bye le boyfriend

Definition of The Boyfriend Yank:

This is a phenomenom noticed at concerts, usually in club venues, wherein a boy has taken the ill-concieved move of bringing a date/girlfriend to a concert, and 3 songs into the set he gets the tap on the shoulder as the date/girlfriend has tired of indulging his musical tastes and asks to leave. And they do. Such a phenomenom is very fulfilling if it happens to the guy who cuts in and stands directly in front of you at a concert.

This was first pointed out to me by K., who recognized a die-hard fan at the final Rheostatics show. The guy apparently had brought his date to share the magical experience of seeing the last Rheostatics gig ever, only to find 3 songs in that she had grown bored and asked that they leave - and the schmuck did.
