Bartender's measuring cups

Jiggers is the plural of jigger, a small measuring cup used for pouring liquor—typically holding 1.5 ounces: The bartender lined up the jiggers.

A jigger is also a chigoe flea that burrows into skin, or any small mechanical device whose proper name escapes you: Hand me that jigger over there.
