Give me a cup of wet
post
This is it. I don't need to read any more of the thread.
When I first started visiting Canada years back, I would buy cases of Coors Light and attend gatherings. Three beers in would be absolutely fucked. And I mean fucked..
No, that is burnt water
I don't touch that stuff, fish fuck in it!
H20, Agua
Council pop is such a term, but is very UK.
Adam's ale. What my grandpa used to jokingly call it. Edit: someone beat me too it.
Water is the nickname. We forgot its real name
Just like bears
I fucking love the etymology of animal and food words. My favorite is deer, which is related to the German Tier, and originally meant “animal,” because I imagine early Germanic speakers looking at a deer and thinking “this is it, the quintessential animal.” I get it, honestly.
Not really early Germanic though, because every other Germanic language kept the meaning of "animal". It's only modern English (since the 1500s) that narrowed it all the way to one specific species (or family of Cervidae).
My guess would be that the language gained the word "animal" from French and "deer" was pushed from its niche and forced to specialize?
Go on...?
The modern English word "bear" originally came from a proto-Germanic word meaning one of "brown one" or possibly "wild animal". There was an actual name for bears, but speaking it was taboo in case it caused a bear to appear, so the euphemism eventually replaced the real name.
When I learned this originally, I was taught that the true name was lost to time, but Wikipedia just says it was "arkto" so whatever.
Dihydrogen monoxide
Adam's ale (also referred to as Adam's wine, especially in Scotland; sometimes simply called Adam) is a colloquial allusion meaning water. It alludes to the idea that the biblical Adam had only water to drink. This inference gained popularity around the beginning of the 19th-century temperance movement.
Water?
Never touch the stuff.
Fish fuck in it, doncha know?
It's got a 100% mortality rate too - think about it
So does every other drink for that matter.
"Adam's Ale" is in my thesaurus as a synonym for water. I've never heard that one before. lol
There is also Dihydrogen Monoxide.
Recently heard that cup of Joe comes from the Navy. The guy that banned alcohol on Navy ships and replaced them with coffee was named Joe.
In French we call it "Chateau Lapompe" which sounds like a wine name but is literally "castle the pump".
A nice tall glass of raw ice, please.
We call it Corporation Pop here.
Morning brown, morning brown
Get yourself a cup of morning brown
Morning brown, morning frown
What the heck is morning brown?
Well, morning brown is great, you get it
in a cup
Add cream and sugar, then you stir it all up
It comes from beans, have it hot or with
ice
In a day, I'd say, only drink it thrice
Morning brown, I'm still not sure
Can you please explain it some more?
It's coffee, ya fuck
Oh, right, yep
Although i know the implications of calling it Jill.
Might want to hold off on telling people that you were thirsty and drank a tall glass of Jill: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jilling
I will bravely face the consequences of my actions
And is this your way of lobbying for 'trojan room coffee'
Bo'oh'o'wa'er
Over here we call it Council Juice
I love that one. I'm right in thinking it's specifically tap water, right? (As in the water provided by the council, you wouldn't use it for Evian or whatever).
Some southern Slavs call tap water "technical" because it's technically safe to drink, but definitely has a lot of stuff in it that you don't want to drink... You complain as you chain smoke.
For sparkling, it's commonly referred to as "homeopathic lager" among colleagues - i.e. without any active ingredients.
I dunno, man. I've heard it being referred to as "aqua-cola". I've also heard it's incredibly addictive, which makes sense because not a lot of time has to pass at all before I start to crave more of it. It's practically impossible to resist.
Should've never been started on that shit. I dunno why it's so normalised in society...
well in my country it's called : sprite for the poor or sprite without soda
given that stars are mostly hydrogen, and rust is oxide.
I often call water "rusty star"
