Flip

A cold, creamy drink made with eggs, sugar, citrus juice, and a spirit. It got it's name in Colonial times, when a hot flip iron was used to mull the ingredients in the drink.

I have not been to too many bars that are good at making a decent flip.

Quantum

The smallest bit of something which can possibly exist. For example, light energy comes in quanta which are known as photons, and can be thought of as particles of light. You cannot have an amount of light more than nothing but less than one photon.

To use the phrase 'quantum leap' as a monumental jump is extremely funny when you realize that a quantum anything would be the smallest thing imaginable.
