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.
