A synonym for hookah, water pipe, or narghile. The word comes from the Persian word for glass. The term “shisha” is primarily used for water pipes in Egypt. Misinformed Westerners tend to refer to the tobacco smoked from a water pipe as "shisha". This is due to slang use in the Middle East, where it is acceptable to request a “flavored shisha” which means a hookah with flavored tobacco. The incorrect inference that “shisha” refers to the flavored tobacco spread into the vernacular and is primarily used by those that have only experienced this particular aspect of Middle Eastern culture in its cheaper, commercialized form in the West.

Swish is a fucking horrible drink that is made by taking a barrel that any kind of hard liquer has been aged in, fillin it up with water, and waiting for it soak up all the liquer juices, it looks like shit, smells like shit and tastes like shit, it is fucking nearly impossible to swallow, but it gets you insanely drunk and is cheap as fuck. The biggest downside of it is that it can blind or kill you, but the price is right!
