Iower

Iower: noun. An iower is someone who owes someone his, her or its own self. The concept of iowing is best illustrated by the story of Faust who, in return for the services of the devil, promised to give the devil his soul upon his death (the terms of this contract, however, contained a very ambiguous clause which the devil should have payed more attention to before agreeing to it. It goes to show just how careful you should be when you download software that asks you to sign the terms and conditions). Anyway, Faust de facto owed the devil himself for the time the devil worked for him, but succeeded in annulling his status as an iower by making use of the loophole mentioned previously.
