There's a Budweiser commercial that talks about a combination foam number one finger and beer holder. They call it a "foozie," a combination of foam and coozie.
But here's the thing. "Coozie" is a variant pronunciation of the word "cooze," which we all know is:
–noun Slang: Vulgar. vagina.
But that's not all. I asked my mom's boyfriend what he calls a foam beer holder. "Oh, well I call it a 'coolie'."
–noun Offensive. an unskilled laborer, esp. formerly in China and India.'
The word is cozy. Ok? It's a beer cozy. Like a tea cozy, but for beer.

Hear, hear. People always make fun of me when I say "beer cozy."
ReplyDeleteMy beer never lasts long enough to need to be in a coozie, cozy, or whatever you want to call it. :)
ReplyDeleteWait, does this mean "beer snatch" is not correct?
ReplyDeleteWhat about the beer coozie Stephanie bought me from "Master Bait & Tackle?"
ReplyDelete@Doug - beer snatch is just as acceptable as any other word. You may also call it a beer vagina.
ReplyDelete@Emily - it's still an offensive vagina.
Is there such thing as a cooze cozy?
ReplyDeleteBeers with actual flavor should be had a bit warmer than 32F. There's no need for insulation.
ReplyDeleteEmily - it WAS an awesome thank-you gift. However, I cringe a little every time I hear "coozie." Art, I agree on how it is like a tea cozy, but for aluminum cans. That's how I prefer to pronounce it.
ReplyDeleteI think this stubby holders and can holders are the best way to hold the beer. Yes, I agree, It's coozie and coolie. Sometimes I call it as "chilly".
