Jimmy Woodser

Origin: From a poem by Barcroft Boake, published in The Bulletin of 7 May 1892, about a fictional Jimmy Wood from Britain who is determined to end the practice of shouting (buying rounds of drinks for one′s group of mates). : One man one liquor! though I have to die A martyr to my faith, that′s Jimmy Wood, sir. Another mooted derivation is the Sydney slang term cadge]] drinks, after the similarly eponymous John Ward, a Sydney publican. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
