The Wonderful Words of Beer Draft 5

  • by

Brewski – is an informal term for beer in English.  It is associated with US usage.  The word is a compound of “brew”, referring to the brewing process of making beer, and the suffix -ski, giving the word humorous Slavic tone.  It may have been invented to go along with Polish jokes, once a staple of American humor, although the first recorded use is late for that, being in 1977 on a Saturday Night Live skit.
