Agreed - this was the type of iceberg most feared by the Titanic, as it was barely visible.— This comment was unsigned.
- Yeah, I've also heard growler for a kind of iceberg before; verification is at [1], but I haven't time now to sort through those.—msh210℠ 22:47, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- I can personally attest to the sense "A roughly half gallon jug typically used to carry beer", as I have friends who brew beer professionally and sell growlers. This sense and the "iceberg" sense appear in Merriam-Webster's 3rd ed. --EncycloPetey 22:56, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- And the final, UK sense seems attestable [2], but, again, I haven't time now to do it.—msh210℠ 23:03, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Striking, since the tags have been removed from the entry. Each of the RFV'd senses has at least one quotation. However, I'm not actually marking them "RFV passed" per se, and anyone wishing to re-RFV them may do so. —RuakhTALK 18:47, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
