The Russian word for beer, "Пи́во" (pivo), is an abbreviation of the German word for beer - "Pißwasser" - from Latin "bibere" (drink) and "wasser" (water).

@kaia isn't ß basically S? so, thats piss-wasser? idk ß is set to Compose+S+S by default

@gravitos @kaia The ß is a ligature of s and z. To be precise ſ and z. The ſ is the long version of the s.

The etymology is explained here: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconst

The image seems to be out of GTA: gta.fandom.com/wiki/Pi%C3%9Fwa

Nevertheless: Pißwasser is a very descriptive name. 😂
