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.

Jerry Van Dyke (Born July 27, 1931; died January 5, 2018) was the lesser-known (and far less successful) younger brother of Dick Van Dyke.
Most of the TV shows that Jerry Van Dyke starred in were extremely short-lived, and one of them was even considered one of the worst sitcoms of all time. However, he did have a few successful roles, such as appearing alongside his brother in the latter's eponymous show, and as Luther Van Dam on "Coach." Despite all of this, he was still largely overshadowed by his brother. \

The "Jerry Can Test" is actually a question: in a crisis situation would you rather have a certain person on your team or a Jerry Can of gasoline? If you would rather trade the person for a Jerry Can then they have failed the test.
I can't think of any reality TV stars that could pass the Jerry Can Test.
