- giggle water66%
A delightfully dated American slang term for alcohol — particularly champagne or any fizzy, celebratory drink — that was popular during the Prohibition era and the roaring twenties. 'Giggle water' captures the social lubricant quality of booze with affectionate humor, emphasizing the loosening of inhibitions and the laughter that follows a few glasses in. It's the kind of phrase that makes you feel like you should be wearing a feathered headband and speaking into a hidden flask.

- Bolly64%
Bolly is a breezy British nickname for Bollinger, the prestige champagne house beloved of the upper classes, socialites, and anyone trying to signal that they have expensive taste. The shortening is typical of the casual register used by people who drink Bolly often enough that they feel on first-name terms with it. In popular culture it is forever associated with Absolutely Fabulous, where Edina and Patsy treated it as a primary food group.
