flip, bounce (drinks); coaster (coastal sailor); 1702

[Joel S. Berson]

By Tavern Fires, tales are told.
Coasters and Boat-men get together,
When they do stay for Wind or Weather:
Some ask a Dram when first come in,
Others with Flip or Bounce begin;
Tho' some do only call for Beer,
and that i'th' morn is but mean chear.
