An american ale, originally made in Newark, NJ but is now made elsewhere. Still found primarily on the East Coast and New Jersey. Often sold in 40oz bottles and pint cans. my favorite cheap beer straight up. dont get it twisted this is not 'malt liquour' like OE, Colt45, etc. Drank by old men, gangstaz, derelicts, and beer lovers alike!
first beer i got smashed on face down in the snow.
Instead of spendingFebruary 14 with a lover/partner, you spend it alone with a bottle of Ballantines scotch whiskey.
Herb : Are you taking the mrs out for a romantic valentines day dinner?
Murray : Nah mate, I don't celebrate that hallmark holiday. I'm celebrating Ballantines Day instead.....probably won't be in to work tomorrow....or in a relationship.
(adj) a classy version of the word "baller" or "awesome." It can be used in common speech or at high class cocktail parties. It is derived from the French word "ballant," meaning "loose" or "dangling."
