Europe Obs. 
n. See quote.
- 1845 Europe-shop is a Colonial saying; everything imported from England is designated as Europe--for instance, Europe porter, Europe pickles--to distinguish the commodities from indigenous articles. The word Europe also carries with it a carte blanche as to price, of which the Europe shopkeeper knows how to avail himself.
