bicarb
Kitchen chemistry staple
Bicarb is an informal shortening of bicarbonate, almost always referring to sodium bicarbonate—baking soda.
It appears in cooking contexts and as a home remedy for indigestion: A little bicarb will settle your stomach.
In British English, bicarb of soda is the standard kitchen term for what Americans call baking soda.
