A glimmer man (sometimes rendered as "glimmerman") was a name unofficially, but universally, applied to inspectors who were employed by coal gas manufacturers in Ireland to detect the use of gas in breach of rationing restrictioons during the Emergency (ie. WW2) from March 1942 and in some places as late as 1947.
The term is now used as a metaphor for bureaucratic intrusion into privacy.
"Rattled by the glimmer man, the boogie man, the holy man" - lyric from "Faithful Departed" by Phil Chevron.
"Gas could be used only on certain hours of the day and hence the arrival of the Glimmer man."
Prosecuters who would rather playguitar, and perhaps should. They keep their hairs in drilled tips to pierce the Heavens or to just make themselves feel pretty. They are fun to throw snackoos at, so do so if you see one. They also like to seduce opposing lawyers after court.
"Always thinking he's a prince in the investigation... What a glimmerous fop! MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH!"
another term for a station wagon, mini-van, or any other kind of vehicle that is targeted at the "family" demographic(also M.A.V.)
"Tactical advantages aside, the M.A.V. is top of the line for the holy warrior troop transport manufactured by the Church of Latter Day Saints Military Industrial Complex. Also great for family trips...to heathen lands."
