Who-Hit-John

slang whiskey, especially of cheap or inferior grade

origin uncertain: may allude to wild bar brawls in a drunken state and the common male given name “John” for anyone so struck in such a fight indiscriminately and/or may be a corruption of ‘hooch’

The cowboy always travelled on the drive with a bottle of Who-Hit-John in his hand.
