Vanbitz Growler - new name required?

[Ian789]

I know the say no publicity is bad publicity, and even though I think both would be an effective deterrent, Angela Raynor has absolutely ruined the option for me of upgrading my alarm to Eddie's premium model. I 'm definitely sticking with my Strikeback. Well at least until it turns out that thats also a euphemism for someone's nether regions.

 

[David and Sally]

Are you bored today?

 

[RowleyBirkinQC]

You worry too much, our local garage love it when Cindy takes the van there and shows them how her Growler works.

But happy to be associated to something with violent connotations

Ahhh. I always thought it was just me that thinks a “Growler” as something different to an alarm.

An alarming growler, scary thought

 

[Landy Andy]

Isn’t there an app to control it?

My two boys nearly choked on their coffee when I told them I was having a growler fitted, how was I to know, I'm just a 70++ year old innocent

Around Wakefield and Barnsley a growler is a pork pie purchased on Saturday morning after a heavy drinking session on Friday.

I’ve always known a pork pie as a growler here in South Yorkshire too

Down south, a “growler” is more likely to have been encountered on the Friday night.

…..like a trapper’s hat, it is alleged

They’ve trapped many a man.

I've heard the term to describe a pasty, for example a Ginsters growler.

Not that anything made by Ginsters resembles a pasty!

Our slang for a floating t**d has always been a “growler”, presumably iceberg connotations.

I know, I know, toilets….

A guy in America keeps going on about his growlers, and I was peeing myself laughing. Turns out over there it is the name for a type of bottle.
I have known the nickname growler for the female parts since at least my late teens as it was used by the tradesmen where I was doing my apprenticeship.
Never heard it used since then (late 80's) until this American chap used it now this UK female MP is using it with reference to herself. what next...

I had a manufacturing business in 3 units at Callington on the same Moss Side business park as the Ginsters factory. All day from arriving at 7.30 a.m. the aroma well and truly put me off their pasties.
They make great play at being made in Cornwall but they are only just across the River Tamar and 4 miles into Cornwall.
(Mind you, we may as well have been on the Moon in trying to get potential European customers to visit us).

Getting back to the subject, I think it’s called a Growler because it bloody hurts when it goes off if you are close to an open door, it’s like the worst noise ever

 

[Nirvanauk]

I’m on the site tonight so hope nothing goes of

Literally the first time I’ve ever been aware of the word’s alternative meaning. You learn something every day!

It may be news to the manufacturer too!

 

[JoshnPen]

We're thinking it may be a good time for some new warning stickers...."This van is fitted with a growler. Enter at your own risk" - something like that!
