Pronunciation: sip-BOT-l

Sentence: There they were: a motley mob of drinkwaters, sipsops, aquaholics, potable-notables, hydroeclectics and sipbottles with their prete-a-pote designer bottiglia. I said to Bluey. "Crikey, what's this country coming to when a bloke can't get a beer". Blue nodded, "Dunno, but I got more respect for a koala than this lot. But ya know, Bobbie boy, what "Evian" spells backwards, don't ya? Naive!"

Etymology: SIPBOTTLE:Sip & bottle. PRETE-A-POTE:ready to drink, based on prete-a-porte. KOALA: marsupial whose name means in native languages: one who doesn't drink water. EVIAN: the most popular brand of bottled water in Australia, probably sold worldwide.
