Fisherman's Friend were originally developed by a young pharmacist named James Lofthouse in 1865 to relieve various respiratory problems suffered by fishermen working in the extreme conditions of the Icelandic deep-sea fishing grounds. Originally developed as an extremely strong liquid remedy containing menthol and eucalyptus oil, Lofthouse made this liquid into small lozenges which were easier to transport and to administer. According to the manufacturer, the fishermen soon began to refer to the lozenges as their "friends", hence the name. The lozenges exist in their current form relatively unchanged since their creation. The lozenges still come in their famous paper packets, although these are now foil-lined and sometimes packaged inside a cardboard carton.

Fisherman's friends are little "mints" that actually taste like aids.
They are incredibly disgusting, although they cure the hell out of dogbreath.
They (Fishermen) sometimes refer to them as friends, but most of the time they refer to them as semen, because what's a fisherman without his semen?

A slang word for marijuana. Used by fishermen around other non dope smoking fisherman. The reason it's a fishermans friend is because it does not give you a hangover. A better alternative to alcohol when you have to be up early the next day.
