Hello,

Came across this sentence:

Beer-battered Germans

What does "beer battered" mean? Does it mean "drunk"?

Thanks!

Please provide the full sentence. "Beer-battered" refers to food cooked in a batter made with beer. It does not mean "drunk."

Hi Mordant,

Alas, the context is a bit sketchy
It's from an episode of the Simpsons, and the full sentence reads as follows:
(gasps) Ooh. Beer-battered Germans.

In that episode (tree house of horror), Homer turned into a human eating green blob, and he was walking down the street eating any person he encountered. Then he stumbled upon an Oktoberfest festival held in town. Naturally, there were many Germans there, swilling beer and at the sight of the festivity, Homer uttered that phrase and started eating the Germans.
That's all I can provide.

It's wordplay. They were drinking, and since he was eating humans, he referred to them as if they were food. Hence, they were "beer-battered Germans." It does play on the idea of drinking, though. That's where the beer comes in.
