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.

An alternating current magnet use to check DC electric motor coils and the integrity of the rotor bars in an induction motor.
ETA: I see that some pictures of the stationary device has been shown above. However, there is a small handheld one as well. |

By Jess Kidden
Before bottled beer became economical and common (especially after the widespread use of pasteurization in the mid-1800's) in the US, if one wanted beer outside of the saloon, it was usually draught beer filled and carried out in a growler, aka a "can" or "bucket" of beer. Many different containers (including pitchers, other pottery or glass jars and jugs, etc) were used to carry beer home or to work - the most common "growler" was a 2 quart galvanized or enameled pail as seen in these illustrations. Pitchers/jugs, however, tho' not as nostalgically romantic, were also routinely be referred to as "Growlers". See Stoneware jugs or pitchers as Growlers While many children were employed by parents and others to "Rush the Growler" (or "Rush the Can"), as can be seen in the photo directly above, adults also were "Bucket Boys" or "Kesseljunges" (a German term apparently used in Milwaukee in particular). Note the notched poles above which will be used by the "boy" to carry the growlers back to the workplace, as is being done with the empties (above left). The beer in a growler was sold as a "pint" but most bartenders by tradition filled a growler with close to a quart of beer- the excess space taken up by the generous head on the beer. During the early 20th century when the "nickel beer" was standard, a growler fill was commonly5-15¢ (see prices below left). While the origins of the "Growler" term is much in dispute on brewerianaand etymology sites, some contemporary sources suggest that it was the constant conflict between the two parties - the bartender who's filling atwo quart pail with a pint of beer - and the customer looking for a full pail- which caused the "growling". |

Sorry Zaminsky, I have been out of Naval Aviation for almost 20 years now..... two 300 gal. drop tanks would give you an additional 4000 lb of fuel. Not sure what the Growler would burn per hour in that configuration.....LOTS of drag hanging on those wings LOL ETA: Yes, I know I am a real post whore.....147 posts in 9 years.....16.3333 posts/yr LMAO |

FPNI... That's a Growler. View Quote the original meaning of the term was not a bottle, rather a beer bucket, called a growler from the sound made when it is filled, they came with a lid. My grandmother used to rub butter around the insides of the bucket so that it would not foam up, got more beer with out a head. |
