    Liqueur.

    It's so delicious! but I can't say it without sounding like a douche.

    i still don't know why liqueur is such a similar word to liquor.  probably just to fuck with us.

    A liquor originally denoted any liquid, then came to suggest a chemical solution or infusion and eventually an alcohol-based infusion or general alcoholic beverage. We borrowed the term "liqueur" from French in the 1700s to denote a particular kind of liquor popular enough in France to not really have its own name there, just being referred to by the French word for liquor.

    OK, "liquor" actually had another intermediate, even more general sense: Any potable liquid whatever. Which, this being the late 1300s, meant wine or beer.
