One's aWoWance is the time allotted during a given period (typically by a guy's girlfriend, although female gamers could potentially experience this in reverse) for playing video games (as opposed to spending all one's time and energy trying to keep said significant other happy and thus putting out). The word itself derives from World of Warcraft (WoW), an extremely popular (and highly addictive) computer game that was/is known to draw players in for multiple hours and even entire days at a time; the term "aWoWance" can and does, however, apply to any computer or console game that inspires/requires focus and time to play properly.
