        Okay but now imagine if everyone in England nuked eachother when they got drunk, instead of beating each other with glass

            I don't really mean anything, I was just amused by the idea of the english meaning of "glassing" being the same as the military meaning, but nothing else being changed. There's no depth to it, I just found myself chuckling at the image of some old geezer going "oi mate!" and then just... explosion over a disagreement about when tottenham was most shit

              Actually that has me giggling. I’ve never seen anyone get glassed, though. I’ve heard numerous stories though, probably mostly bollocks, cause that’s what people do. Bet they’re all based on this scene.

                Lmao I knew it would be the trainspotting scene. Yeah glassing someone in reality would be psycho behaviour, breaking a pint glass over someones head could easily kill them. It's always someones friends mates cousin who's done it

                  Used to work with a lad who told me on New Years Eve multiple bottles got broken over his head, but he knew he was going to be alright cause the bottles were breaking.
