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"

monster · 05-03-2015, 06:04 AM

thanks. I think I've heard that before, just forgotten about it

monster · 05-04-2015, 09:01 PM

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!

DanaC · 05-04-2015, 09:04 PM

A lot of growlers

monster · 05-04-2015, 09:22 PM

I wonder what the collective noun is?

let's coin one.

A minge of growlers?

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

BigV · 05-04-2015, 09:51 PM

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.

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.

monster · 05-05-2015, 09:09 PM

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

Gravdigr · 05-06-2015, 06:14 AM

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

Perhaps you refer to BigV's growler?

Sundae · 05-06-2015, 09:45 AM

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