Stubbie holders. Another one like registered lawns to puzzle the outside reader. I wonder what they are called in Manhattes, if they even exist. This is in Busselton, where I am quite sure ladies were replaced by moles (and their fellow travellers “fucken moles”) long ago. I can see the red one being used by a country bridesmaid though. Not by a lady’s. Remember when stubbie holders were hard plastic with a polystyrene insert? Good times eh? Update: Snuff has sent an old school stubbie holder which I have added below.

Those are called can coolers or “beer sleeves” here. You generally don’t see them except at sporting events.

The kindly would say that it is such an outdoor culture and very hot so the stubbie holder is a necessary item, but I think that generally beer has to be kept just above freezing so it numbs the taste buds to the terrible taste of Swan Lager or Emu Bitter.

It might be ‘moll’ if u were alive when Squizzy Taylor was around. Comedy Company ‘Kylie Mole’ is a more recent usage of the word, sadly it wasnt comic.

Moll (pronounced /ˈmoʊl/) is Australian and New Zealand slang, usually pejorative or self-deprecating, for a woman of loose sexual morals, a bitch, a slut or a prostitute. The term can also be used for a girlfriend of a thief, gangster, surfie or bikie.

Stuff your wikipedias, authoritative graffiti in the toilets of vic park public schools 1974-1986 used “mole”. (This was consistent, unlike “wanker” which was sometimes “wanker”, sometimes “whanker”, sometimes “wanka”)
e.g.
“Kylie is a fucken mole.”
“Millen girls are moles.”
etc.
