The Old Guildford Bypass

Top Definition

Def. 01 of 14
When, sometimes, after a football match, when I just want a quick pint, but there's the law of rounds. You don't want to get involved because if I let him get me a pint, that's like a ten-pint round. I'm there all night. So I just go, no, it's all right because I'm just having one quietly. Just a quick one. Just a couple of us.
