tall boy
High chest drawers
A tall boy is a tall, narrow chest of drawers, typically with six or more drawers stacked vertically.
In American usage, tall boy also refers to a 16-ounce or 24-ounce can of beer—taller than standard cans: He grabbed a tall boy from the cooler.
The furniture sense is more common in British English, where the beer can is often called a tall can instead.
