brewski

Casual pub order

Brewski is casual slang for a beer, typically used in relaxed social settings.

The word has a playful, informal tone and often appears in the plural: Let's grab some brewskis after work.

It emerged in American English in the late twentieth century, possibly influenced by the "-ski" suffix associated with Slavic languages, which gives ordinary words a jocular or faux-exotic flavor.
