A can of beer. Portmanteau of "brain" and "grenade". The "brain" comes from the alcohol's deleterious effects on the brain.
The "grenade" has multiple origins and meanings. In one sense, it compliments the "brain" in that the alcohol can have explosive effects on a user's behavior. In another sense-and why this term refers exclusively to canned beer-it comes from the similarity of the can and its consumption to hand grenades. Consider the metal shell containing a dangerous compound, the explosive potential, the common act of tossing one to a friend in need, the act of pulling a ring before use, etc.

Get the Broad Foal mug.A person who manipulates three cards -- two red aces and a black queen-- on a flat surface, while barking at passersby to bet they can follow the queen (or "broad") as he moves her and the aces around. He is the most important member of the mob running Three Card Monte, a swindle posing as a game. Other members pose as players who make a show of winning and collecting big bets, which encourages suckers to bet money from their own pokes. . The broad tosser invites players to "chase the lady', before he executes his secret move, whereby he appears to throws the queen face down when in fact , he has exchanged it for one of the aces. The chumps follow the wrong card from the very beginning.
Rodrigo was a broad tosser who dressed like a loser and pretended he couldn't speak English; he attracted cocky, well-dressed men from Wall St. to bet -- and lose--- thousands on Three Card Monte every week.
