aggie fortis. An Americanism meaning anything very strong to drink. As one old-timer put it “. . . this man’s whiskey ain’t Red Eye, it ain’t Chain Lightnin either, it’s regular Aggie forty [sic], and there isn’t a man living who can stand a glass and keep his senses.” Aggie fortis derives from aqua fortis, strong water, the Latin name for nitric acid. |
