It provides light and makes you look less dumb when sending snaps at night because if we are being honest that’s when we only use them

lamp-girl

The annoying girl who steals random shit like a lamp from the bars in Amherst. She’s the type of girl who blacks out and then refuses to take accountability for her actions the next day.
Damn the monkey bouncers really had to kick lamp-girl out of the club again last night.

Jerry Lamps

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.
On a foggy day in Launceston, a driver would turn on their Jerry Lamps to improve visibility on the winding roads.
