jorum

A large vessel for drinking (usually alcoholic beverages).

Then come, put the jorum about, / And let us be merry and clever, / Our hearts and our liquors are stout, / Here's the Three Jolly Pigeons for ever.

Come each jolly fellow / That loves to be mellow, / Attend unto me, and sit easy: / One jorum in quiet, / My boys, we will try it, / Dull thinking will make a man crazy: […] / I am here as Justice of Quorum; / And in my cabin's fore end, / I've a bed for a friend, / With a clean fire-side and a jorum.

The contents, or quantity of the contents, of such a vessel.

To cure you at once of sciatical pains, / That hamper your body in dolorous pains, / And keep you confin'd in your sheets without motion, / Take me two jorams of wine for a potion, / Reserving two glasses by way of a lotion, / Which warm you'll apply to the part that's affected, / Then tip the remainder, as I have directed, / To cure you.

Let Politicians a' gae daft, / Their tricks, how I abhor 'em! / Di'el nick the silly, wily craft, / They're no worth half a jorum. / So push about.

A large quantity.

[…] while Miss Skiffins brewed such a jorum of tea, that the pig in the back premises became strongly excited, and repeatedly expressed his desire to participate in the entertainment.

Let the rain fall as heavily as it pleased, and the sticks be saturated through and through, as we ourselves were often enough! we never failed to boil our jorams of tea!
