what is a growler?
|
|
I have two definitions:
1) I have heard that as a slang term for taking a shit. 2) It's a container of beer, usually from a microbrewery that you can take home about a quart of microbrew instead of drinking it at the bar. I forgot another one: 3) a mechanical siren on a fire truck. The chrome thing on the front bumper that makes the sound by spinning on a motor and not electronics is also referred to as a growler. Also known as a "Q" which is short for Federal Q |

Like a half-gallon of beer, right?
Could be synonymous with best laid plans. Like, "I'll get a growler Friday after work and be set for the weekend," only to find yourself in need of more beer Saturday night. |

Beer jug, usually glass, but I have seen some really cool ones made of stainless.
I just use 2 liter soda bottles. |

first post nails it:
half gallon of beer. It's also a big turd, aka a grumpy. |

A dog with a life expectancy measurable in seconds if you let it near a cop.

Hmmm.
So far, we have "taking a shit," "glass jug for beer," and "nasty vagina." I'm glad that the word has such an exact and narrow definition. |
