GROWLER

aka Tuppence, lady-garden, front bottom

Have we recently watched a certain episode of "Top Gear"?

Growler = half gallon of beer.

Nope. Your definition, please?

Well, I went where Bruce went, and, I expect Big V, and maybe Foot, to go...The large container for drink and spirits.

But...

On a recently watched episode of Top Gear, (Series 17 Episode 2, in The News segment, it's hilarious) the boys were discussing a beautiful car with the unfortunate name of The Growler. And then they proceeded to discuss, hilariously, the definition provided by Sundae, complete with several puns.

The car:

Attachment 51295



How did you come by it, meaning the reason for this discussion?

There may be a sandwich type thing called a growler. Maybe.

I believe the lower-pitched attention getting device on a police car or fire truck, the part that ain't horn, nor siren, is called a growler.

i know there was a comedy skit in the 90s ( might have been the naughties) where a female celeb (not the actual celeb - an impression of) kept offering to show her growler.

I believe that the similar term for lady parts is "snapper".

Lorraine chase was it not, Dana?

Grav, we sell them. Normally I am kept away from the customers in a safe back office where I can enlighten my fellow store support staff about British Euphemisms to our hearts content without fear of offending most. However.... today I was stuck in the register area for a while are was party to the chatty middle-age male cashier discussing his female middle-aged customer's growler, and how she used to go for a Grizzly peek.

It was all I could do to keep my giggles stifled and my middle-aged bladder from emptying itself right there. My 24yo officemate/partner in grime I believe remains unconvinced that anyone but me would think of anything other than a beer jug, so I told her I'd poll the world for the first definition that came to people's minds.

(Grizzly Peak is a local brewery)

You can take the girl out of Britain... ;p



I just googled it, it was Lorraine Kelly. Bo Selecta

A growler is a big bottle of beer.

Chase/Kelly they're all the same when it comes to growlers, I'm sure.

Curious, Dna, Sundae and Caruhers if you had really heard of the beer thing.

Our Growler Filling Station keeps me amused no end, especially as it's Ginger Beer at the moment :lol: (full license due next month, then people with be able to drink a pint while they shop)

To me--and I'm quite sure no one else thinks this, and I'd never use it out loud in this way, but for whatever reason it was my immediate instinct as I read the word... To me, the first definition that appeared in my mind was of a giant, turbulent, gurgling shit.

As in, "Oh man, I just left a growler in there."
