Liquor
Liquor
Liquor - The name is obviously American, written twenty-five years after the English
settled on the island in 1651. It is quoted in The Academy, "The chief
tipple they make in the island is Rumbullion, alias Kill-Divil, and this is
made from distilled sugar canes, in which the end product ends up a hot,
hellish, and terrible liquor."
This is the earliest-known allusion to the
liquor rum; the word is held by some antiquaries in what seems rather a
strained explanation to be the gypsy rum, meaning potent, or mighty. The
word rum was at a very early date adopted and used as English university
slang.
The oldest American reference to the word rum (meaning the liquor) was in
May, 1657, prohibiting the sale of strong liquors "whether knowne by the
name of rumme, strong water, brandy, etc., etc." In some localities in
America rum was called in early days Barbadoes-liquor, occasionally also
Barbadoes-brandy.
The Indians called it ocuby, or as it was spelled in the
Norridgewock, tongue, ah-coobee. Many of the early white settlers called it
by the same name. Kill-devil was its most universal name, not only a slang
name, but a trading-term used in bills of sale.
