Like Joe for coffee.
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.
A cuppa Jill

In French we call it “Chateau Lapompe” which sounds like a wine name but is literally “castle the pump”.

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…

Might want to hold off on telling people that you were thirsty and drank a tall glass of Jill: www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jilling
SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
And is this your way of lobbying for ‘trojan room coffee’
TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ll stick to watching my coffee brew on a webcam, everything else is more fun in person.

For sparkling, it’s commonly referred to as “homeopathic lager” among colleagues - i.e. without any active ingredients.

In Germany, we do have some nicknames especially for tapwater: I personally know of Leitungsheimer, Kranwasser and Kraneberger

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.
cogitase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
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.

Council pop is such a term, but is very UK.

“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.

Water, dhm, wet-wet, hydro, aqua, words for ‘water’ in languages you don’t otherwise speak, sky treats, fish pee (there’s a whole list of pee ones),
I have more.
