Regular
意味: A frequent customer at a pub; a habitual patron.
A regular is someone who frequents a pub enough to be recognized. Regulars have standing with the landlord—they might get served faster, get invited to lock-ins, or have a reserved spot at the bar. Being a 'regular' is a social achievement in British pub culture.
