tallboys

Highboy furniture pieces

Tallboys are tall, narrow cans of beer, typically 16 or 24 ounces: We grabbed some tallboys for the tailgate.

The term also refers to a tall chest of drawers, often with legs, or historically to a tall drinking glass.

In British usage, a tallboy is a piece of furniture combining a chest of drawers with a wardrobe or cabinet on top.
