About those big jugs...it's OK to call a carboy a JUG

[Pappers_]

Of course we could just go to our favorite etymologist.

HotForWords - Where did the word "****s" originated? - YouTube

Tits - YouTube

Her carboys look synthetic to me, like Better Bottles, rather than the more natural-looking glass.

Yeah, I prefer my jugs "al naturale" as well.

Nice jugs with the perky airlocks. I wonder how blowoffs are handled.

Speaking of Big Jugs, there was this college girl at the Ferris State hockey game on Saturday who had some. She was wearing a very small, tight tank top, and just loved to emphasize them too. I'm not making this up.

She actually BOUNCED her way up the stairs to reach her seat. Let me clarify. She PURPOSEFULLY bounced her way up the stairs. And later I caught her out of the corner of my eye making them bounce ridiculously in her seat!

It's too bad I am am gentleman, or I would have gotten a picture to share.

So my point is, picking out a single word to practice Etymological Jihad on, is kind of douchy. The English language is made from words from all over the world dating back many centuries. Carboy is the accepted word for a fairly specific style of vessel used for during the fermentation of drink.

Big Jug is a very broad definition that could mean anything that holds liquid.

Screw being a gentleman, pics or it didn't happen!!

Yes, but which would you prefer - big (6.5 gallon) carboys that are enhanced with plastic or smaller (3 gallon) carboys that are natural, non-plastic. Choices, choices . . .

Wikipedia says....The word carboy is from the Persian qarabah (قراب&#1607, from Arabic qarraba, "big jug".[3]

It's OK to call a car boy a jug. this is America, we don't need to adapt words from the Arabs.

sincere - from Greek, means literally "without wax"
"yeah, without Q-tips i'd be insincere."





but really, cool story, bro.

Yes, what's that got to do with anything? I'm not gay, or catholic. I'm allowed to have sex, and make bad puns about breasts just like any normal human being. Just that I can also make some of them in Latin or Aramaic.

Priests can have sex too. They just have to have it with little boys....:cross:

They wouldn't be fixated on carboys then, just boys.
