Pint

PYNT /paɪnt/
Informal Neutral

What it really means

A pint (about 568 ml) is the standard glass of beer in a pub, so "fancy a pint?" simply means "shall we go to the pub?". You can also ask for a half ("a half of lager").

Chinese explanation
一品脱(约568毫升)是酒吧啤酒的标准杯量,所以 fancy a pint? 其实就是"去酒吧喝一杯吗?"。也可以点半品脱(a half of lager)。

Example conversation

A: Fancy a pint after work? B: Yeah, go on. The Red Lion?
A:下班后去喝一杯吗? B:好啊,走。去红狮酒吧?

What you could say back

“Yeah, see you there at six.”
