shandygaff

/ʃˈændɪɡˌæf/ noun C1

a mixture of beer and ginger ale

Word Origin A bizarre pairing: Old English 'scand' (shame, disgrace) and Old French 'gaffe' (hook) combine to form shandygaff — literally a 'shame-hook.' The idea might have been a drink that 'hooks' you into disgrace, perhaps because mixing beer with ginger beer was seen as a cheap, shameful trick. Today, shandy is just a refreshing mix, but the word still carries that old sting of disapproval.
