the gals and the demijohn Explanation: Depinde de context, că s-ar putea să fie cum zice Sangro: women and booze. Apoi, tu ai ”fetili”, am auzit spunându-se în glumă. Pt. asta, m-am gândit la ”gals”: n. Informal A girl. gal - alliterative term for girl (or woman) colloquialism - a colloquial expression; characteristic of spoken or written communication that seeks to imitate informal speech. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gal Demijohn vs carboy: dem·i·john (dm-jn) n. A large, narrow-necked bottle made of glass or earthenware, usually encased in wickerwork. [Probably alteration of French dame-Jeanne : dame, lady; see dame + Jeanne, personal name.] The word carboy is from the Persian qarabah (قرابه), from Arabic qarraba, "big jug".
