What is the meaning of the word "stolle". I think it is of German origin, but could not find any info on it. Also, how is it pronounced??
Any ideas

That's the English word for it. Auf deutsch, Stolle.

Aussie-speak for Stolychnaya - a cheap nasty vodka which is often a girls first experience with alcohol. Now renowned for pre-mixed drinks.

I'm lead to believe that the original Stolychnaya is an excellent drop.

Granted, I'm not a typical USn, have lost the eighties and parts of the decades on either side to the Third World. Having said that, I attribute my knowledge of the term to the BBC, via Edina and Patsy, sweetie darlin. (and it's not a low-end vodka this side of the pond).

dahling, are you sure you're not thinking of Bollie, sweetie? I mean, the fridge is practically stuffed with it, so long as Patsy hasn't found the key again...
