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...

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The ultimate gateway drug. EVERY addict of any kind started by drinking water. They should ban that shit.

Over here we call it Council Juice

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 4 points 15 hours ago

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).

[–] Deepus@lemm.ee 3 points 16 hours ago

Council pop.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 12 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

A nice tall glass of raw ice, please.

OG German nickname is Gänsewein - the goose's wine.

[–] iamkindasomeone@feddit.org 4 points 19 hours ago

I only know that term when referring to a lake or similar. Something like: It's a hot day, let's jump into the (kühle nass).

[–] Dogyote@slrpnk.net 25 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Water is the nickname. We forgot its real name

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 3 points 17 hours ago

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.

[–] Dogyote@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 hours ago

Shhhh! Do you want bears? That's how you get bears. The name was lost, never type it again.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 2 points 13 hours ago

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?

It's a lot like making love in a canoe.

... Fucking close to water

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 5 points 16 hours ago

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..
