The art of the conversation during a taxi fare is usually one of awkward glances, pretend mobile phone texting, and meter-glances while dollar bills slip through your fingers and into the ether. That is, apart from intoxicated taxi trips. These, as you well know, are a completely different experience
The words ‘chivalry’ and ‘nightclub’ are not often paired together, and with good reason. Since the age old beginnings of social drinking settings, etiquette and politeness have never been common when spirits and bar tabs take precedence.
Bars and nightclubs are all about first impressions, and given the volume of music- these impressions tend to rely greatly on a little thing known as aesthetics. Hair, make-up, tux or casual- the way we look is ever important in impressing one’s eye candy of the evening. While pulling in the interest of the opposite sex based on looks alone can be a successful means of living
Shouting out your next order at the bar can spring a lot more than a pint in each hand. The type of beer you order tells your bussie, the hottie next to you, and the remaining venue’s patrons the ins and outs of your personality- all from that little long neck and it’s label.

No, we’re not talking about $16 cocktails (although, those really do tend to break the bank), apparently the odd drink can rack up a fee larger than that first home repayment.
It only takes a simple scroll through the nightclub reviews on this very site to realise we really are ‘spoilt for choice’ when it comes to where our drinking pleasure takes place. With so many bars, yet so little dimes for us twenty-somethings, the choice between one venue and another can depend on one simple factor: entry fee.

Just like any great hobby or sport, the art of drinking deserves an array of terminology to accurately depict the wonderful world of bars and nightclubs. While the Oxford Dictionary served us well throughout our schooling and tertiary careers, the average A to Z just doesn’t cut it for after the hours of 9 to 5.
Luckily, the following terms are here to fill the gaps
