What Does It Mean?

Old

/ohld/

adjective

Having existed for a long time. In most contexts, a gentle insult. In the context of spirits, the highest possible compliment. The only industry where "old" means "expensive" instead of "needs replacing." A 40-year-old car is vintage. A 40-year-old cognac is a treasure. A 40-year-old person is "still young" (according to 40-year-old people).

Origin: From Old English eald. One of the oldest words in English, which is either fitting or redundant. Proto-Germanic *aldaz. Has meant "not new" for approximately as long as things have been not new, which is to say, always.

Usage: "This cognac is old." "How old?" "Old enough to have better life choices than you." "I'll take the bottle."

Cognacs

/KOHN-yaks/

noun, plural

A type of brandy produced in the Cognac region of France, where they take grape juice, apply patience and fire, and produce a liquid that costs more per ounce than most people's hourly wage. Distinguished from regular brandy by geography, regulation, and an air of superiority that is somehow transmitted through the bottle.

Origin: From the town of Cognac in southwestern France, which itself derives from the Gallo-Roman personal name Comnius + the suffix -acum. So cognac is technically named after some guy named Comnius who probably had no idea his name would one day be on a $3,000 bottle sipped by people in velvet robes.

Usage: "I'll have a cognac." "Which one?" "The one that makes me feel like I own a yacht." "That'll be $85."
