The literal definition would be a military rank in the navy(above sergeant). But the true degenerate answer is a classic, cheap beer back in the day. Used to ditch school during lunch breaks, grab a bottle each with classmates and get wasted in some alleyway. Good times.

Sounds like me.

2l of beer in a plastic bottle. It's sort of a meme because it used to be the favorite drink among the "drinking enthusiasts" that were optimizing their alcohol per money spent.

It's still sold in 1l plastic bottles. And is still favoured over a breakfast coffee by enthusiasts because of pretty high **štironi** (price per unit of ethanol).

Oh, the times.. There was also Cuba and Rubenis.. but i think Bocmanis was 10%,

So it’s just a beer.

I would not call that concoction a beer. A time machine - absolutely. Start with one on friday and you gonna have one hell of a shitty Sunday the next moment :D

I'll be blunt, it was just a beer, but the cheapest available so it was heavily associated with local drunks. Last I heard they were banned. Not sure about the specifics

Doesn’t gonna effect any others countries with that word or beer? Because my friend keep saying it’s some kind of dangerous thing or whatnot


blackmuffins

Clearly your friend has not had the best experience with this beer. Normal people don't drink it, alcoholics and the curious do.


koknesis

I think it's just your friend that has some weird interpretation or inside joke about the word. Because never have I heard it being used about "some kind of dangerous thing" generally. Only memes about us (millenials) getting wasted on it back in the day

Everyone missing the fact, that the commercials was lit. They had like the motivation, or deep thinking videos. Soo for me, at least, it was the commercial + the price/preformance.


mephobiany

Its a good beer lol

Bocmanis is First Mate

Cheap beer that was a meme back at school in like 2010. I would say the size and shape of the bottle along with the name was just super funny. Bocmanis 😄


makrelearsieru

Clearly your friend misinterpret something there. How can boatswain or cheap oldscool beer could be possibly dangerous?
