Also referred to as a 'woman black'.. I
heard this comes from the image of
(white) woman wearing a black dress etc.
that leaves the shoulder bear. Comment by: Gaillimh
Unfortunately, now you can get away with
giving someone a Stout if they order a
Pint of Porter. There was a time when
there was a difference, but thanks to a
couple of centuries of gobshites who
don't care what they drink as long as
they get pissed, the two terms are now
interchangeable. Comment by: pb1965
