Going to see a man about a dog

Slang used while referring to going to have a drink down the pub.

Most commonly used in the North East of England. Due to it being originally derived from people who drink/drank the ex-Newcastle brewed alchohol, Newcastle Brown Ale.

The sentance itself is actually printed on the label of the newer bottles of Newcastle Brown.
