Chug.
In deze tekst worden zonnebrandmiddelen als het ware als cocktails gezien. Maar wat ze hier nu met 'Chug' bedoelen? Wie weet het?

I only know "chug" as a slang term for "drink" in British English ... sounds like a pretty disgusting cocktail ! LOL !

Smeren maar

Ja, ik denk ook dat op de analogie met drinken (zuipen) wordt gedoeld. Chug lijkt me overigens verwant aan teug (en togen, tijgen, takel, takelen, taken, Engels take?).


Je zou het omgangstaal-sfeertje nog verder kunnen handhaven met:
smeer 'm!
