scinger

A ‘scinger’ is a shortened form for a ‘scotch and ginger’. Since ordering a ‘scotch and dry’ (i.e. a scotch and dry ginger ale mixed drink that’s popular in Australia) can often result in being served a ‘scotch and dry vermouth’ in California, one must therefore order a ‘scotch and ginger’, which after a few rounds comes out as ‘scinger’. Often heard slurred by drunk Aussies in bars in the TL!

“Throw that scinger down ya neck!”
“Get that scinger in ya!”
