I was 65 yrs old when I found out that hawmow rhymes with COW, not THROW.
I was 65 yrs old when i found out the lyrics to Sweet Home Alabama are:
ingin’ songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again, and I think it’s a sin
Not
ingin’ songs about the Southland
I miss my family once again, and I think it’s a sin
Tell me your silly realizations!
I’m not totally convinced about the Alabamy lyric being correct. Different references I’ve checked offer “Alabamy”, “Alabama”, “my 'Bamy”, and “my family.”
Given that the preceding lyrics says “carry me home to see my kin”, I think “my family” is a strong possibiity.
If you are indeed correct, then I guess I learned this today.
mmm
I saw a promo for some show with Blake Shelton and Lynyrd Skinner featured, singing. The closed caption said “Bammy,” so I looked up lyrics and found “Alabamy…”
However, I’m willing to concede that I wasn’t wrong with “my family!” 
I was astounded to learn just two weeks ago that
“Although most Ikea furniture is flat-pack furniture, it’s not designed to be disassembled after you assemble it for the first time.”
The movers moving me halfway across the country over 30 years ago told me this. I didn’t believe them, I had disassembled and carefully bundled and labeled my university apartment furniture, and made them put it all in the crate.
A few months later I had put it all in the dumpster, one piece at a time. Have never bought furniture from IKEA again.
I’m 67 and only learned a month ago about “silage”, which is chopped-up vegetation from a farm, kept in a silo or other oxygen-poor environment, and left to ferment and break down a bit. Then it’s fed to livestock.
So that’s one of the purposes of a silo. The things you learn when you watch farming videos on youtube.
All of which are wrong. It’s clearly and obviously “ol’ Bamy.” 
Actually, I may have seen a cite of “ol’ Bamy” and not “my Bamy”.
Now I’m not even sure what sort of 'Bamy it is.
mmm
Today (age 65) I learned that there might be a word “hawmow” unless that’s a typo. Which to me it seriously looks like.
Without cheating by looking it up, I have zero idea what that word (or whatever word it was supposed to be) might represent.
As to song lyrics in general it’s amazing how many sites get them wrong.
I assume he meant haymow. Actually read it that way a couple of times before realizing it was misspelt.
I don’t think that’s on IKEA.
As a 20-something in a cramped studio, my go-to was a place in Chicago called Affordable Portables; their stuff is made to fold, break down, and disassemble. It was always weird to me that they didn’t have folding bookcases, which I had to get from Pier 1. I moved twice and everything fit into a couple of hatchbacks, to the amazement of the friends helping.
I never once considered disassembling any Ikea furniture, and successfully moved many, many Billy bookcases and other Ikea pieces many times. After three or four moves they might look a little worse for the wear, but they usually still worked okay.
And parrot them over and over on other sites, Chords too.
Just because it’s on the Internet doesn’t mean it’s correct!
Other knowledge… oh, I was into my 20’s before I started to understand female sexual physiology; what women like (since I’m a hetero male), and made some ghastly mistakes with women I really liked…
If the sex had been good, things might have been different? Would it have worked out? Who knows…
Before reading the rest of the thread I had just googled “hawmow” (a word that I’ve never once in my life heard before) and Google did indeed correct it to “haymow” (a word that I’ve never once in my life heard before).
Yes indeed - I’m 70 (in the UK) and had never heard either word.
Now that I think about, “hawmaw” might be what someone from Alabamy would call an LGBT person.
I take my Billy bookcases apart when I move. I’ve disassembled and reassembled them a few times and they’re fine.
Maybe you should give @Mighty_Mouse and @Chad_Sudan lessons. 
I don’t have any Ikea pieces any more, and hope never to move again, or I’d show up for the lessons, too.
Half of my furniture is Ikea (including meters of Billy), and I moved with it two times. I never disassembled them, they are quite sturdy once assembled and take a move well. The mighty PAX wardrobe I got when I moved into my current apartment though would be too big to not needing disassembly. It wouldn’t fit through the door and be to unwieldy and big to carry.
Do you remember how you put it together? Do that in reverse.
It’s also possible that Billy uses fasteners that are more amenable to repeated use than IKEA’s other pieces. It doesn’t seem to me to be anything special. Turn the cam lock to hold two pieces together, turn it the other way to take them apart. For those who are having trouble disassembling IKEA furniture, what’s the problem?
Andthis thread would not be complete without this:
