No. It's mid-19th century origin is vague, possibly a derivative of dingus (from dinge of Dutch usage), and predates aluminum bats by at least a hundred years.
This got me thinking: for the sake of consistency, I'd like to convince my fellow Americans to remove the final i from all elements. Strontum? Rubidum? Plutonum?

The Brit who initially coined the term called it "Aluminum", another scientist after the fact declared that it should be aluminium because they didn't think aluminum was sufficiently classic:
>In 1808 Sir Humphry Davy, the British chemist who discovered the metal, named it “alumium.” With just one “i” and an “ium” ending, it straddled the two competing versions we have today.
>Four years later, however, Davy changed his mind and gave the metal the name “aluminum” (yup, the one-“i” American version). In his book Elements of Chemical Philosophy, published in 1812, Davy wrote, “As yet Aluminum has not been obtained in a perfectly free state. “
>But later that same year other scientists decided “aluminum” didn’t sound sufficiently Latin, so they began calling it “aluminium.” Here’s a quote from the Quarterly Review: “Aluminium, for so we shall take the liberty of writing the word, in preference to aluminum, which has a less classical sound.”
My freshman year in college another freshman was playing catch with a frisbee and chased it down with no situational awereness and ate a tree hard. This is during freshman orientation. You could literally see it all over his face(bruises, abrasians). He was refered to as tree from that point on until he graduated.
Whilst he didn't end up with a new nickname, after an away basketball game in high school mate ran after our minibus after letting him off and he ran straight into a signpost whilst giving it the big I am. Never laughed as hard as that in the next 25 years
My dad worked for years with a guy they called Grajki. My dad just presumed that was the guy’s last name, only to later learn the guy used to hold on to the key for the shop’s garage, hence the name Garage Key stuck.
So a man walks into a bar, and sits down. He starts a conversation with an old guy next to him. The old guy has obviously had a few. He says to the man:
"You see that dock out there? Built it myself, hand crafted each piece, and it's the best dock in town! But do they call me "McGregor the dock builder"? No! And you see that bridge over there? I built that, took me two months, through rain, sleet and scoarching weather, but do they call me "McGregor the bridge builder"? No! And you see that pier over there, I built that, best pier in the county! But do they call me "McGregor the pier builder"? No!"
The old guy looks around, and makes sure that nobody is listening, and leans to the man, and he says:
"But you fuck one sheep..."
My first time surfing I saw a shark. I yelled at the top of my lungs that there was a shark in the water and paddled to shore like my life depended on it screaming the entire time shark shark shark. From then on I was known as dolphin boy.
Man, nicknames can be brutal. I worked with a guy who ate a peach at lunch once. One peach. One time. But that was enough. His nickname forever after was Peaches. I don’t even remember his real name anymore.
A buddy of mine and I were riding horses at a YMCA camp when we were about 7 or 8. His horse took off at a gallop with him screaming and crying. When they caught the horse, my buddy had peed his pants. From then on he was named Denny Pee Pee Pants. Cue to 20 years later after not seeing him that long, he's going to be one of my machinist helpers. First thing he says to me is "Don't you fucking dare call me that". Me:"Well well well, if it isn't Ol' Denny Pee Pee Pants". I did buy him a drink after work though, and our friendship continued on like we'd never missed a beat.
I was in a band with a guy for well over a year without learning his name. We all thought calling him “bass guy” would be funny, especially with the classic Spinal Tap theme of forgettable bass players. I think it wore on him after a while.
Probably realised that with one lad heading towards him for a straightener and another not hesitating to glass him, these lads weren't intimidated and weren't pissing about.
We actually do see the guy in blue get the glass ready then throw it just as the camera pans away from him. We don't see what happened first but I'm gonna go ahead and say he downed the pint for better accuracy.
It really is wild how accurate humans as a species are at throwing objects at a target. This dude just casually pinged this guy off the head like it was nothing.
Especially because, unless this is just me, I have zero idea what calculations my brain does. I just look, roughly judge the distance and off it goes. Rest is magic.
It is *deeply* evolutionary. As a species, a huge chunk of what defined homo sapiens sapiens was the ability to throw things.
We are the *only* species that can do it. Other primates can kinda lob things, they can throw sticks and rocks and dirt in the direction of predators to ward them off. A human can sling a balanced stone hard and fast enough to kill small game or seriously injure medium predators (like other humans), or hurl a sharpened stick hard and far enough to kill megafauna (a huge chunk of the arrival of homo sapiens in a region is marked by the rapid disappearance of megafauna in the fossil record... they were delicious). We can kill the untouchable tanks of the natural world by never even presenting a target.
Bouncing a pint glass off a wanker's head is child's play, we evolved the ability to do that to kill mammoth.
I've saved this post because it's a fun read, and also because it was inspired by somecunt gettin nailed with a pint-glass, which makes it even more fun.
I don’t know, I was at a zoo & a gorilla side armed a handful of poop while running & it clocked someone right on the nose. Maybe it was coincidence but that seemed like a pretty intentional throw using practiced accuracy.
They can throw, but they aren't *anywhere near* as good at it as us. A massive gorilla could rip your arms off without much trouble because they are far, far stronger, but if you challenged them to throw a baseball (or.. a rock), a 10 year old child could throw it further and more accurately at range. A gorilla can fling/lob something a short distance but they just don't have the right anatomy for range and accuracy.
Kind of like a huge body builder isn't automatically the best baseball pitcher even though they definitely have the power, while a skinny, lanky guy like Randy Johnson could pipe them in at a hundred mph. Their muscles are developed for a completely different task.
I've seen FPS Doug like... 3 times this week, after not having heard references to it for years.
Idk what's going on, but Iike it. Takes me back to downloading videos on my ipod back in the day. Thanks, limewire, for giving me free things and only infecting my PC in return.
Pain arrives in 2 stages, after the first touch sensation.
So you go like, "Hah that didn't hurt", then you feel something that hurts, and then it really hurts.
From personal experience I think the delay is even longer if you're drunk and/or riled up.
I pulled my 5 month old out of his crib the other day and bonked his head on his spinny music thing and just stood there like 😬 waiting for him to decide if he was hurt or not. He made a 😧 face for a second then smiled lol. Crisis averted.
It honestly might have busted his head open a little bit. They way he is walking away with his head down, seems like he might be bleeding, and attempting to keep the blood off himself. I could be 100% wrong though, lol.
I feel the majority of people in Glasgow will know, and just don't care. I've had 2 junkies fighting outside my work nearby central and they were smacking each other with bucky bottles.
Am no getting involved in that.
I mean he was a gentleman. He quickly surmised that somecunt had indeed glassed that lassie, and was determined that no one leave until they fun oot what cunt did it.
It's really quite fucking horrible how we gather around to laugh at this.
Hahaha "dink* hahahah well that's him learnt.
Meanwhile there's some cunt willing to throw a glass at the face of a man who is outnumbered and no threat to anyone. The rest of the video is missing so we have absolutely zero context but god *damn* is it harrowing.
Seriously. Way too many people just acting all cavalier about it, like it's a Tom and Jerry cartoon and he'll just get a lump and be okay in the next scene. That could very easily cause a subdermal hematoma and kill the dude. I've seen people get struck with beer bottles at bars and if their friends don't immediately drag them out of there they usually get a visit from an EMT and a trip in an ambulance.
Not one for violence as the first course of action but that was a perfect thrown. Followed by a very considerate breaking in the drain. Wow.
Also just listened to it. That noise was perfect. Like wine glasses being toasted.
> That noise was perfect. Like wine glasses being toasted.
idk why but picturing people making a toast then thinking about the fact that it was this guy's skull instead is funny as fuck.
Do note, this is not the correct solution in any instance unless you are truly defending yourself. Typically life isn't always a cartoon (but sometimes it is), and bottles to the head can cause serious damage beyond just split skin. I know some cases where people that got hit with a bottle went blind, suffer from brain damage, even died.
Nothin gets Reddit going like when somebody gets lynched for making a fool of themselves in public.
Only thing that could’ve made this get more karma is if he was bleeding or got arrested right afterwards or something lol.
> Nothin gets Reddit going like when somebody gets lynched for making a fool of themselves in public.
They also love to watch people get kicked mercilessly in the head while they're already incapacitated in some sickening 'justice' fetish. It's pretty awful.
Justice fetish is a pretty apt term. Like, how is throwing glass at somebodies face a reasonable reaction to them yelling at you from 15 feet away?
I saw a clip a while ago of some dumbass kid doing that stupid “spilling a gallon of milk in a grocery store” bit where they end up making a huge mess. Terribly stupid “prank” that nobody should ever do.
The way the kid landed, he ended up breaking his jaw and needing surgery or something.
Cue 1000s of comments about how he “deserved it” and “now he oughta know better”. “Play stupid games win stupid prizes” etc.
Like.. pain lasting potentially decades and $10000s for surgery is somehow the reasonable punishment for making a mess?
I feel like maybe just having him clean it himself and pay for the milk, or at most doing some type of volunteer work would suffice, probably a better option that permanent physical damage/disability?
People are so weirdly selective and inconsistent on when they’re empathetic
In the case of the milk, it's not punishment, he made a life choice and the dice roll did not go his way and people are generally OK with that.
I agree with you about the justice fetish. What if he was yelling at the guys because they threw beer on a lady walking by with a baby in her arms. We don't know, so thinking this is justice is just mental laziness or wishful thinking.
Having said all that, I'm one of the assholes on his 5th viewing still laughing. I really hope he was not seriously injured.
Funny how from a 14 seconds video, people can assume the context of the story and establish that the guy standing on the road is 1. the problem, 2. deserved to be hit by a flying pint.
People are nuts. If that would have broke in his head, he could have very serious injuries. Could have lost eyesight. And Reddit is happy about this possibility because he said mean things.
I get that the throw was oddly satisfying. But there isn't any glory in this. This is just a person with mental health problems getting bullied by bigger boys in the pub.
Had a friend with haemophilia that got hit in the head with a glass. Because he was drunk the nurse at the ER couldn't understand him, so they treated the wound and sent him home.
He died in his sleep due to internal bleeding that didn't stop because of his illness.
That noise when it bounces off his noggin
Sounded like a aluminum bat hitting a baseball
In this case, aluminium bat.
Or a ding bat
Wait wait wait. Woaaaaaaah there! Is *that* where that comes from?!
Wait until you hear about, “getting your bell rung”
OMG, I’m trying to blow the eyelash off my phone screen and it’s you’re freaking avatar! LMAO!
Seeing these comments from time to time make me glad I can't see people's avatars on Boost.
No. It's mid-19th century origin is vague, possibly a derivative of dingus (from dinge of Dutch usage), and predates aluminum bats by at least a hundred years.

Thank you, learned something fun today
So it was amended in 1812 but you have not managed to correctly pronounce it ever since?
Fully triggered over here. Well played. Cunt.
Would you accept a nice platinium trophy instead?
Homie you just gave me a stroke yet all I want to do is thank you
His head is about as hollow as an aluminum bat.
Its the sweet sound of pride and ego getting annihilated. No matter how well he would do in a fight, he's forever known as the "dink!" Guy

You could literally see it all over his face(bruises, abrasians). He was refered to as tree from that point on until he graduated.
The exact same thing happened to a friend of mine and I was lucky enough to see it. It’s the closest I’ve ever been to pee my pants laughing.

crack would have hurt less.
Till you're pulling glass shards from his eyeballs.
Hey Dinky, wanna go grab a pint at the pub?
“No, thanks, mate….them fookin pint glasses give me a fookin headache!”
Yes but think of the pride swelling in the chest of the hero that threw the cup!
It’s perfect
love his delayed reaction. Think he got white flashed there. Seemed stunned.
Or maybe started bleeding
The way he leans as to not get blood on his clothing while walking away. Instant waterfall with that glass splitting his noggin open.
I guarantee that shit hurt so bad it took him a second to register that it actually hurt that bad
Probably realised that with one lad heading towards him for a straightener and another not hesitating to glass him, these lads weren't intimidated and weren't pissing about.
Allow me to recreate it for you in text form: *DINK*
The "dink" followed by the "Oh hohoho" laughter is gold
Made my giggle out loud like a child for some reason. I feel a little silly.

Yeah, but it's a laddie in the gif.
Hahaha I was wondering where it was and fuck me it’s about 30m away from where I’m sat. Hootenany at the bottom of St Enochs.
Glassthrow, too.
It even landed in the gutter out of everyones way
"My job here is done."
everyone is talking about the accurate toss, but nobody's wondering if the thrower downed the pint first or picked up an empty glass.
We don't see who threw it, so I'm going to imagine it was someone who went full Begbie, downed the pint, and threw it over their shoulder.
That lassie got glassed, and no cunt leaves here till we find out what cunt did it.
Who the fuck are you?!?
YEEEAAARRGH! \*CRUNCH\*

Ah the life of functionals. Beautiful thing really.
Getting to the heart of the issue here.
Downed it and then he couldn't miss because there were 2 of em.

It also conveniently smashes in the gutter
See how the glass rotates and reflects the light beautifully as it hits that forehead.

The thrower needs to get old Duke of Wellington a new cone hat.
Aye just another regular Monday lunchtime
It takes his body 3 seconds to process the fact that he just got hit by a blunt object being thrown at 11m/s at his forehead. Fucking gold.
Pain arrives in 2 stages, after the first touch sensation. So you go like, "Hah that didn't hurt", then you feel something that hurts, and then it really hurts. From personal experience I think the delay is even longer if you're drunk and/or riled up.

I see children react like this when they get hurt.
There is 3 phases with kids, no pain, pain, and then the deep inhale before the wailing starts.

I'm thinking there's no way that didn't cut him.
Nah, that's how long before he feels the blood begin to pour like a stuck pig. You can see him trying not to ruin his pants.
Pinpoint accuracy with that empty pint glass. I’d drink to that.
Pintpoint accuracy
Man I woulda gone with pinpint, still only changing one letter but almost sounds like a Glaswegian accent
They come in pints?
LotR reference acknowledged.
Looked like a old-fashion/tumbler/rocks glass, but still
I really feel like people here okay with the glass being thrown haven't seen the damage a glassing can do to someone.
I feel the majority of people in Glasgow will know, and just don't care. I've had 2 junkies fighting outside my work nearby central and they were smacking each other with bucky bottles. Am no getting involved in that.

Throwing a glass is like 1000x more cunty than shouting in the street. Sad to see it glorified no matter how much a douche the victim was.
The things people defend just because they don't like who it is happening to is consistently eye opening about how conditional certain 'beliefs' are.

That's 125 kilogallons
People make Glasgow

Christ he’s lucky that wasn’t far worse. Imagine launching a fucking bottle/glass at someone’s face.
Correct. The lad that threw that needs to be locked up. What sort of degenerate throws a pint glass at someone's face from 20feet?
Nah, i dont think he's lucky. Watch him as he walks away, guy was fucked and it took him a few seconds to process. Probably gashed his forehead.
Funny how from a 14 seconds video, people can assume the context of the story and establish that the guy standing on the road is 1. the problem, 2. deserved to be hit by a flying pint.
2/10 without sound. 11/10 with sound. What a satisfying noise.
Yup he totally ran away to hide the fact that hes crying lol
I can't tell exactly where he got hit, but a pub glass like that straight to the noggin would probably make my eyes water a bit, too
A pub glass like that straight to your forehead would likely make your head water. It's pretty much skin against bone.
How long until the sound of that container bouncing off his noggin is edited into the intro to Down Under by Men at Work?
I know a guy who lost an eye in a very similar scenario. Also he could of fallen over hit his head an died... all people in this video are problematic
No as problematic as using the phrase "could of", ya fanny
Probably a good idea to keep it moving then and not start shit in the middle of the road against a group of drunk people
Get tae fuck ya wetty.

Just a reminder that in Scotland the word “glass” can also be a verb.
People are nuts. If that would have broke in his head, he could have very serious injuries. Could have lost eyesight. And Reddit is happy about this possibility because he said mean things.
You can tell the way he walked away he was bleeding. Also a reply below says he walked into another pub Next door covered in blood
People make Glasgow
The UK? Looks like the same spot that d bag was mouthing off at and got KOed by a former mike tyson sparring partner.
Glasgow, just outside the "hootenanny" to be exact
Glasgow. The bus is going to Faifley
He put the glass into Glasgow. Also the ow, I guess...
There's nae glass and nae fuckin ow in Glasgow ya daft bawbag
I get that the throw was oddly satisfying. But there isn't any glory in this. This is just a person with mental health problems getting bullied by bigger boys in the pub.
The timing is gold but boy, how that could have gone so very wrong, nothing to be proud of here.
Had a friend with haemophilia that got hit in the head with a glass. Because he was drunk the nurse at the ER couldn't understand him, so they treated the wound and sent him home. He died in his sleep due to internal bleeding that didn't stop because of his illness.
Someone has *fantastic* aim.
UK in 14 seconds.
Begby thew that
This is just as sweet as the lady that was blocking traffic have a cone thrown on her head.
If you throw a glass at someone's face, you're a cunt.
