Dene-Métis champion dancer's moves inspire next generation
Modeste McKenzie has been entertaining audiences across Canada as a jigger and square dancer. But after a bout of reactive arthritis last year, he could barely walk, let alone dance. That experience made him change his focus to sharing the rich tradition of dance with younger generations.

So, lately I've been watching a bunch of #HowToDrink, a show on #YouTube where the host mixes (mostly) alcoholic beverages, as well as describes interesting historical things about the drinks.
As per usual, I watch the show with closed captions on. I think it's mostly auto-generated captions unfortunately.
I've started to notice that it kept censoring 'jigger' or 'jiggers' in it though, which in the show is meant to be a measuring tool, which is pretty clear from the context.
At first I thought it was just the auto-generated captions mishearing the word (though apart from 'frigger', I couldn't really think of what possible 'vulgar' word it could've thought it heard), but it happened so frequently that I decided to look up the word 'jigger' on Wiktionary, and sure enough, under the third #etymology I found a reference to it being a euphemistic slang.
Apparently it can be a reference to either form of genitalia, with it referencing the masculine genital at least being in use since 1931, and the feminine one was quoted in a book from 2002 (though set in 1842).
So, #TheMoreYouKnow. Another example of how #censoring something for possibly being #lewd has resulted in the lewd meaning being looked up where otherwise it had remained hidden.
