grammar
High proof alcohol, usually "whiskey", especially in the context of its sale to or consumption by Native Americans. (a Native American term, a calque of the Ojibwa word ishkodewaaboo, ishkodew meaning "fire" and aaboo meaning "water/liquid"). So-called due to frequent inclusion of red pepper by traders in order to hide the taste of cheap doctored alcohol, often including low grade ingredients such as tobacco juice, molasses, etc. Sometimes used humorously in other contexts.
