grous•ers
1. Persons who hunt, trap, or pursue various plump, chickenlike game birds of the family Tetraonidae, chiefly of the Northern Hemisphere and having mottled brown or grayish plumage.
2. Complainers, or grumblers, and those prone to general ranting.
3. A number of “smart guys who hunt” and their generally smarter companions.
From the expression on your face, it would appear that you're hoping the old grouse will serve as a stool softener.Is that the same thing as a "group tightener?"
"You know, back in the day, they used to harness a pigeon to a stool to decoy 'em in (kind of like POAS today). Hence, 'stool pigeon.' Annd they found that if you pour Famous Grouse on a stool pigeon, it's a stool softener." --Jack Handey, Deep Thoughts
back in the day, we used to call a nip 'o the old snort, a "group tightener."
