My daughter at college is getting roasted by her non-New England friends for calling the little 50ml single-serving bottles of liquor “nips.” Time for a #poll – what do you call these bottles? (if another name, leave a reply) #dialect #slang #regionalisms

Weekend college mini-reunion with two besties - one from DC, one from Texas, and me (NC). Discussing kombucha -
TX: "It's basically the health nut version of coke."
DC: "Is that what you drink instead of soda?"
Me: "Yeah, I don't drink much pop."

BFF's husband is amused... #Regionalisms #Dialect

I'm curious about something. Please boost for reach.

Have you ever heard a native of the British Isles use the word "cocksucker"?

(If they grew up/have lived many years in the US it doesn't count).
