I had a cursory glance, and this has nothing to do with Twitter's Bower[1], a package manager for web libraries (hell, even the TLD is the same). Bowery is a misleading name, and it gives the impression they are somehow related.

Interestingly, 'bowery' is Glaswegian slang for 'come on, then!' or 'bring it!' - indicating aggression [1].

Here's some others to pick from, my money would be on something to to with New York [1], rather than Glasgow street slang.
