    Which is hilarious, because in new England a “packy” is a package store, which is a euphemism for a liquor store.

    So I got quite a few looks when I asked if we were going to “hit the packy” on the way to the party…

      There’s an old movie on YT called Shield for Murder with a character named Packy and the subtitles censor the name.
