For those of you who not not know what a "glassing" it's quite simply and an oddity on earth mostly to the UK = a glass beer mug or cup if you will smashed into the face of your victim and facial lacerations can be quite severe. About 2 years ago on business to Ireland I was down to Limerick minding my own business and a young punk offended at my using a laptop computer set to bar instead of watching footy. He came up behind and bumped me to express his anger and I told him to fuck off and immediately back went his beer mug to deep right field and I just held up one finger and said in my daddy voice "NOW HOLD ON PUNK YA DON'T SMASH A MAN WHEN HE IS SITTING DOWN" so I got up from chair and he rared back to smash his beet mug to my face and that left his own face wide open to a straight jab left from me. And splat on ground down he went. So, no glassing for me that night and punk got a badly busted nose for an education to not fuck with old men from Texas.

Good old fashioned left jab beak breaker and problem solved. The world needs more of this.

Somewhat funny as it perfectly describes governments = British Parliament was considering crafting a new law forcing pub owners to use glassware that would not break apart and since that does not work with the glass bottle/jar industry (you cannot make glassware laminated or unbreakable) they considered forcing all pubs to use metal mugs and investigating the cost were told that metal mugs of various shapes and sizes would cost the pub owner 15-20 x as much as glassware the whole idea just went away. So the idea of a "glassing" is still common as hell in the UK somewhat unique to the entire planet. In the past I've searched up Google images for it and pretty nasty deep lacerations = https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=5d0811d5ae0715ef&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ACQVn0-ww0T_gREeSHnq2aWXsw9dbn7uoQ:1713890837159&q=facial+injuries+from+a+glassing&uds=AMwkrPt5DqKoEcEgTvJpB2mLvFtAOuNw8Kcnnq7GFmKxtar5canZaqilY3erZC3B0_neMcj0QT1O51QHzYRizVrJJwwzG-PyAbrnqeMH2NGzLj82eZB0NzqgduLLcxu4LS17jSdLjQnGMyFlZ86Nmtf3HvyH767aSWLzsw75OVTrZ_3hbeNhc66VN5pSEDR1hp0NY7VFhWRMuJbo7WoW1JZ2SUImDzGJ5dMzqOXLrvBwBqv19M4SremzXoowPTH7Zi4wxymfFJ-ahhchlvSQq0BQPKihHMK7iuSpEv6Jvi7Yu1L8Uq3g9bpWcIR9kPbJvyf7QIgiODRO&udm=2&prmd=ivsnmbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj9iaH05NiFAxWVBDQIHVITCGgQtKgLegQIDBAB&biw=1536&bih=675&dpr=2.5

I am reading your comment about switching to metal mugs while in the background, a news report plays on my television about a middle-school student who used her Stanly mug to beat-down another student.

The whole kadooky here started because I just wanted to let the average Joe and Jane what a "glassing" is. It's just not a world wide gig it is an oddity to the UK and about it from what I know. Common as hell over there and I had an incident myself in Ireland far south of Dubby when a skinny punk wanted to try that shit on me. Didn't work out very well for him. Metal mugs can be a good weapon but they won't slash your face flesh open. Glassing facial injuries quite horrific as I posted up a link on the string to see them.
