slammer
Where inmates live
Slammer is slang for prison or jail: He spent five years in the slammer.
The word evokes the sound of cell doors slamming shut.
A slammer is also a shot of liquor drunk quickly, or something that slams—a door, a hitter in baseball.
In the drinking game, you slam the glass down before downing it.
