redrum

Word used in the novel "The Shining" by Stephen King and in the movie based on it and directed by Stanley Kubrick. "Murder" spelt backwards. Also works on many other levels, being suggestive of bloodshed, wrath, inebriation, violence, a force that consumes people's lives like some satisfying drink, and something used to subdue the Native American tribes that form a subtext of the film.

Redrum

A drink formed with redbull and rum which will result in a somewhat piss-tasting sensation. Note: when drinking this beverage know that the energy received from the red bull will eventually crash causing your magnitude of drunk-ness to multiply. This will most likely result in hooking up with woman you just met/ will not remember the next morning

1.After rater bought 16 red bulls for 39.95, we proceeded to drink red rum before the party resulting in the strangest experience ever

2. "Dude lets make Redrum"

"Nah son im not trying to die"
