So I'm working in the yard, listening to an Audible book, and I hear "she has the hairiest growler in all of Ireland." I literally laughed out loud. Have you heard this slang for, as the Peas often say, lady garden?

Are you sure it was her lady garden they were referring to, and not an Irish Wolfhound?  You need to tell us the book now! |

No that is not one I heard before. If I read/heard that I would think...wow she had the hairiest bottle of beer?  |

I think it's an older term, I've definitely heard it in the past but not for some time
In the 80s I was a bit of a punk and there was a punk/shock band I used to see live and one of the members was a drag queen, Joylene Hairmouth and there were always lots of jokes about her growler and I think it was in a song lyric too.

Another Aussie who has heard the term. "Show us ya growler" is a line I recall from a comedy skit from years ago. Rodney Rude? Kevin Bloody Wilson? (fellow Aussies might know)
And yes it refers to the lady garden (a phrase I had never heard till I found the Peas)

I want to hear @stephdrebel chime in on this one, I bet she's heard just about slang there is for "growlers"! Eta: I can't figure out why I can't get the @ thing to work...shouldn't it be in bold or color if it tagged someone? I've edited this like 10 times, so Steph, if you get a bunch of notifications, I'm sorry! |

I've edited this like 10 times, so Steph, if you get a bunch of notifications, I'm sorry! If someone has changed their name from what they first registered here as, you can't just use the @ in front of their name. You have to click on the "Insert User Link" button and type their name that way unless you know their original name. Steph's is "stephrebel" with out the D. I'll tag her for you: StephDRebel |

I've been wracking my brain trying to think of the song, but I'm pretty sure the line is "...my growler and you want to **** it" I still have the albums but no record player so I can't listen...it could be Wagga or Pretty Boys, but now that line is running through my head.

"Pashed" is 80s aussie teen girl speak for 'kissed' and as I was about 17 at the time it seemed appropriate to use it |

OMG pjaye, you're famous!! A friend of mine pashed Scott Carne from Kids in the Kitchen back in the 80's. Sadly I have no such claim to fame! And no, I never saw Jimmy and the Boys live. |

You guys are cracking me up! The book is the Woman Who Stole My Life by Marian Keyes. It's well done chick lit. I like to think of her books as a palate cleanser after my usual psycho serial killer books.
Ds is into craft beer so he's always talking about growlers. Don't think I'm going to be able to keep a straight face now!

LOL, I have a bigger claim to fame than that  , but Iggy was definitely an interesting one! Oh and I remembered the song now, it was Joylene singing Queen of Pop (I am the queen of pop, and I can't be stopped...) I just found it on you tube but on that clip she says vagina, however live she usually said growler. I saw them live a lot...you missed a real experience there.

Eeew, eeew, eeew! Please tell me this isn't so, I've just bought some jewellery for my granddaughters and my best friend from here www.hairygrowler.co.uk. How on earth can I give it to them now with that written all over the box? |

How old are your granddaughters? they may be too young to have heard it, or just put it in a different 'box'  snort*

Tsk! pjayeSeeing that the bloke goes round the music festivals to sell, there can't be any way he won't have known. The granddaughters are both toddlers. I'm buying them a piece of jewellery to give them every Valentines Day for their parents to keep until they are 18. I got these pieces to give them next year. The girls won't have a clue now and possibly won't when they are grown but I sure as heck hope their parents don't know! I'm not going to feel very comfortable presenting those boxes to my son next year! Maybe new boxes are in order. Eeew. I can't unsee this thread now! |

It's lovely jewellery, very lucky granddaughters to get something so pretty.
If you really want to be scarred forever, look up growler on urban dictionary.com, you've been warned!

Oh boy. You certainly get an education here.
I see the term was like a catch phrase for a comedian over here. I couldn't stand him and never watched but I bet my son and DIL did.

I like to think of her books as a palate cleanser after my usual psycho serial killer books. Ah, I wondered which Irish author had written about hairy growlers!! I love Marian Keyes and cannot wait to read "The Woman Who Stole My Life". I can't buy it for myself yet because there's a fair chance my aunty will have bought it for my birthday. And like you Colleen, I like to intersperse my serial killer / crime novels with some Marian Keyes.  pjaye I will not rest until I find out your other claim to fame. Seriously. Can you give me a hint, some initials maybe? Anything?? |
