  Take a Shingle Take a shingle (swally, grog, bung yer eye). To have a drink (hot toddie, garden beer,screech, st peter's hooch, spruce beer or even foxy rum). This could be an elevener (fourer, evenin, mornin) of swish (home made barrel liquor) from a jorum(jug) at a shebeen or jig house. If you were to joog yer callibogus (spruce beer, molasses and rum)you would be on a jag( tear, piss up, gettin on the sauce) yelling out `long may ya big jib draw` as you become full to the horn, because you lost the bottle, on a devil's racket!
