A lot of you may be familiar with what I am talking about.

On Top Gear last year, James, Jeremy and Richard started discussing a car called the 'growler' and burst out laughing because of what it meant. Richard said it meant that 'those welcome mats you might have seen on a girl in the 70's' and when Jeremy mentioned that you can't get in the back, Richard also burst out laughing, as did the audience when James May said 'there's a bloke at some point going to say I'm just going outside to wax the growler'.

What do they mean by 'growler' and why did they find it so hilarious?

In certain parts of the north it's a slang term for a meat/pork pie.

I guess it makes a change from all the penis extensions they seem to test drive.

I'd guess 'growler' probably means that the car's engine is loud. It has a rough rev, that sort of thing.

That would be Yorkshire according to the link below. Number 5.

It was on Top Gear last year. After searching for an answer everywhere else they eventually found the one place that's guaranteed to know every slang term for the rudies - DS General Discussion.
