Tasmanian slang for fog lights, which are lights, typically yellow or white, mounted low on vehicles that emit a wide, downward-angled beam to help drivers see the road and its edges during conditions of low visibility, such as fog, rain, or dust. They are named after the Bridgewater Jerry, a thick fog that frequently rolls down the River Derwent into Hobart, Tasmania, particularly during autumn and winter. The name combines the suburb of Bridgewater with the slang term 'jerry' for mist or fog.
The term "Jerry Lamps" is a localised colloquialism specific to Tasmania. While the primary function of these lights is consistent with standard fog lights globally, their unique nomenclature is rooted in local geography and dialect. The Bridgewater Jerry is a well-known meteorological phenomenon in the region, impacting visibility and thus necessitating the use of such auxiliary lighting. The etymology of 'jerry' as a term for fog or mist in this context is a regional linguistic quirk.

Get the Jerry Lamps mug.A sexy, tall, lanky beast that is a ladies man, and has a 12 inch cock in the flaccid state. Don’t let his charming smile and shy personality fool you, he is a demon in the sheets. He WILL put you in a wheelchair for a minimum of 6 months after the tip penetrates you… But it would be TOTALLY WORTH it. If you meet a Jerry, don’t let him go.
Friend #1: How were you paralyzed from the waist down?
