phrase-synonym of 'night on the town':
A night out with friends in a town or city centre during which one usually indulges in drinking,
dancing, and the inadvertent concoction of hilarious anecdotes.
The
word 'tiles' probably refers to the tiles that make up
dance floors.
As in 'The Enemy''s song, 'Be Somebody':
"The only thing that really makes us smile
Is a joke and a laugh and a night on the tiles"
Or:
Johnny:
"Alright mate, what you doin' tonight?"
Dave:
"Dunno, mate, just chillin', I think"
Johnny:
"
Fancy a night on the tiles with me and the
boys?"
