    Does this mean something very different in America to what it means in Britain and Australia?

    I do hope so.

    Ahhhhh.

    It's probably best that I don't post images of what we would call a rim shot.

    I remember having similar issues with a friend (who I'll call "R", as that's the first letter of her name) in Hong Kong a few years ago. We were at a bar, and I hadn't yet finished my current pint when someone bought me another one. We didn't have a table, so I was standing, holding both beers. When she was about to go to the bar and asked whether anyone wanted a drink, she said, "Oh, you won't need one - you're double-fisting already."

    Umm...

    Everyone stared at her. "In Indiana, we call holding two beers at once 'double-fisting'," she explained.

    Most of our group was from Britain or Hong Kong. We explained that this was very much not what we thought of as double-fisting.

    She's been called "double-fisting R" ever since.

    Again, I shall refrain from posting images of what we think of as double-fisting.

    I'll bet it involves two parts of the human anatomy..., one of which that looks like a balloon knot... :p

    but yeah if you post a pic, I'd bet it would last about 5 minutes before it got taken down... But I think thats called a rim job...not a rim shot..

    Not quite. There is a great deal of nuance when it comes to that sort of thing. But you're certainly thinking along the right lines.

    Must be a Midwest thing, because here on the right coast we likely think of what you thought.

    Or the internet has corrupted my fragile mind.

    Yes, maybe they're a bit more innocent in Indiana. Or maybe they don't have the Internet.
