It is a specialty of Britain and some of its Commonwealth offspring to use glass objects as fighting weapons, when there is a disagreement between gentlemen. There are arguments about whether Manchester or Glasgow is the world capital of glassing. Looking at particular details, Manchester has the upper hand on pint glasses, while Glasgow leads the field in glass bottles.
One might argue now, that getting glassed has never really killed someone. This is true. However, a glass smashed against someone head is almost always the overture of a symphony of destruction with much more lethal chapters such as getting jumped or the very common getting knifed. On this one and the particular local folklore surrounding blades more later in this humble online journal.
Thanks to Nick Anderson for pointing out this particular technique.
