jirble - v., to pour (a liquid) splashingly or unsteadily.


Can also be used as a noun, an instance of same (or possibly the splash). When you jirble yourself another stiff drink, it's time to quit for the night. If not change your clothes -- depends on how unsteady you were. You probably cannot jirble a gerbil, not unless you liquify it first -- and if you do, you have bigger problems.

And that wraps it up for a week of obsoletes. Back next week with the usual random mix.

It's derived from the name of the container of too-much-to-drink, the jeroboam.
