A fork of Rural Dictionary
Word originating from a 17th century Dutch colony of what is now upstate New York. The town cobbler (who lived a quiet life) was observed one day at the local inn as he quaffed a pint of beer in less than a few seconds and, quietly placing the empty pint on the inn's counter, returned to work quietly in his shop. The cobbler's name was Matthias Von Klinker. Ever since, to Klinker a beer is to drink it very quickly without all the ridiculous glitz and show of a frat-boy beer-bonging.
I grabbed two beers - one for Mac, one for me. I looked down only to pop the top off of mine and when I looked up, Mac had Klinkered his and was ready for another.
Alcohol fit for the lips of the cheapest of cheap - college students and the garden variety "bum."
Joe College: "Hey, Mac, go pick us up some bumboozle for tonight."
Of, or pertaining to, an ailment specific to North American whiskey-drinkers. Transmitted by Monday afternoon apathy or Friday evening chicanery. Once infected, the victim becomes obsessed with the pursuit of getting shitty in the quickest possible manner without quite degrading himself to the use of bumboozle.
After about the ninth shot, Mac's drinking had gone from social to bourbonic.
