Where I come from "Growler" was a term used for the not nicest looking girl who was in a bunch on a night out, usually at a pub or disco (now there's an old expression)
Usually moaned at by one of the crowd of boys out on the pull who comes out with the legend

"How do I always get lumbered with the Growler" :D

I looked it up in the dictionary I keep at work today, and apparently it can also be something to do with magnetic flux. And Google says it's an attack aircraft. That's a lot of definitions!

I'm sure they're prolly referring to the EA-18 Growler, the "electronic warfare" version of the Hornet.

yeah I was just too lazy to be more specific :D

Yep. They're big in this area. Whidbey Island NAS was the first place the Navy based them.

Operational history

The first Growler for fleet use was officially accepted by VAQ-129 "Vikings" at NAS Whidbey Island, on 3 June 2008.

please share with me (and the world) the first (and then any subsequent) definition of the word below in large caps that pops into your head. I know you have amazing google, linking and c&p skills, but I'd like to know what comes to your wonderful mind. It would be especially fantastic if you could reply before reading the definitions of others. TIA :)

Here are a couple of my growlers.

This one's empty at the moment, but most of the others are full of mead.

Oh hey, I didn't realize that was the style of bottle. I buy growlers of apple juice on a regular basis. :)

So you're saying your growler is less intoxicating than Grav's?

Uh, I don't have a growler in this fight.

Perhaps you refer to BigV's growler?

I've never had an American growler.
Although I have gone down on an Australian woman.
