What's your euphemism for bourbon?

great story, flyfish. tip one back for annabelle tonight!

[upStomp]

that Andy Griffith skit was a good one, I think I first heard it on Sirius years ago. I didnt know it was from '53, I woulda thought the 60's sometime. His show was timeless, I can still sit down and watch them today and enjoy them. Most stuff on TV these days isnt worth watching the first time it airs!

on topic, I dont have any euphemisms for bourbon/whiskey, yet. My buddies and I will just grab something wherever we are, take a sip and say in a very hoarse and pained way "smooth". I dont know where that started.

The first reference I can remember to this was Ralph Furley on Three's Company. You can search youtube for the clip "Ralph Furley - Smooooth". I've also been known to do pull this gag on occasion .

my little one sometimes refers to it as my "special drink" but she wouldn't think it special if she knew what it's doing to her college fund.

That is funny. My daughter often tells my wife, "Daddy's down looking at his beer again!" I have stopped explaining that it is not BEER!

I call it the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and laughter on their lips, and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes.

"Whiskey. Neat"

[Quantum]

At home any reference to a liquid is understood to mean bourbon, unless specified otherwise.

[dcbt]

"Beverage." Just "beverage."

Cheer. That about covers everything. Kristin's work email flags words such as beer, alcohol, bourbon, pretty much all the good stuff. So going to BeerWorks becomes CheerWorks. Liquor Barn is Cheer Barn. Going after work to buy X cheer, what are we cheering for tonight, cheer me up, boy I could use some good cheer right about now etc.

That is excellent.

So I guess I say whiskey imported from here?

Shiner gets that sort of dubious treatment in Texas: any restaurant chain here that has a Happy Hour, and has Shiner, typically prices Shiner as an "Import." [insert "Look of Disapproval" here.]

On topic: I call it Ruckus Juice. Also, a few years back, I taught my then-4 year old daughter to call the liquor store the "Turkey Store," as she went with me often, and I really didn't need her repeating the phrase "liquor store" at pre-school. We both still generically refer to any bourbon as "Turkey."

That drives me crazy as well. At least some places finally added a "Premium" category in between Domestic and Import. Of course, many of these same places charge the same for Premium and Import, but at least it's accurately labeled!

I just tell my wife to pour something that will make her good looking...

[squire]

HA! Do I dare use that one tonight? I might have to pour a few for myself before I try that.

[dSculptor]

If someone ever asks me what I want to drink I simply reply.. "Got Whisky?"

Ha, he talks a good game, I'd like to be around when one of you guys actually say that.

[docbible]

When the kids were younger it was "Daddy Juice". Now it's my "medicine". Tim

Actually, I've said that to her more than once. She's a cool chick and laughs at it. She would then tell me that we don't have enough in the bunker to make me attractive or something along those lines. We have an odd relationship, but it works for both of us. I gave her the nickname sasquatch in college BEFORE we started dating. Anyone who has spent any time around (and there's one person on this forum) us could verify this childish behavior.

If you were to continue my signature. Bart just asks Homer/Max Power: "Isn't that just the wrong way" and Homer responds: "Yes...but faster!" That works for me.

[Harry in WashDC]

To paraphrase Kid Shilleen, "Give me that bottle o' your'n". Where I drink they know what I'm pointing at.
