  • A six pack.

  • Look, Finn, I don't really want to see your six pack.

  • What?

  • Well, actually, you don't have a six pack, you have a beer belly.

  • Alright, I get it.

  • Very good, baby.

  • In English, the phrase six six pack originally refers to a way of selling cans of beer, buying six cans joined together with plastic holders.
