Gin is a spirit which derives its predominant flavour from juniper berries (Juniperus communis). From its earliest beginnings in the Middle Ages, gin has evolved over the course of a millennium from an herbal medicine to an object of commerce in the spirits industry. Today, the gin category is one of the most popular and widely distributed range of spirits, and is represented by products of various origins, styles, and flavor profiles that all revolve around juniper as a common ingredient.
The name gin is derived from either the French genièvre or the Dutch jenever, which both mean "juniper".
Although several different styles of gin have evolved, it is legally differentiated into four categories in the European Union, with two of those four (Distilled Gin and Compound Gin) being officially recognised in the United States.
The official European Union classifications are as follows:
Juniper-Flavoured Spirit Drinks - This represents the earliest class of gin, which is produced by pot distilling alcoholic grain wash and redistilling it with botanicals to extract the aromatic compounds. Due to the use of pot stills, the alcohol content of the distillate is relatively low (e.g. 68% ABV). This type of gin is sometimes aged in wooden barrels, retains varying degrees of flavour from the grain as a result of its distillation method and may be bottled with a strength as low as 30% ABV. Geneva Gin or Holland Gin is the most prominent gin of this class.

In the English language, black sheep is an idiom used to describe an odd or disreputable member of a group, especially within a family. The term has typically been given negative implications, implying waywardness. It derived from the atypical and unwanted presence of other black individuals in flocks of white sheep.
In psychology, the black sheep effect refers to the tendency of group members to judge likeable ingroup members more positively and deviant ingroup member more negatively than comparable outgroup members.
The term originated from the occasional black sheep which are born into a flock of white sheep due to a genetic process of recessive traits. Black wool was considered commercially undesirable because it could not be dyed. In 18th and 19th century England, the black color of the sheep was seen as the mark of the devil. In modern usage, the expression has lost some of its negative connotations, though the term is usually given to the member of a group who has certain characteristics or lack thereof deemed undesirable by that group.

Disculpe señor
esto no es gin
es un Samurai de Ho Chi Min
como me partió la cabeza en dos!
estrelló mi vaso y se marchó
Dicúlpeme jefe
esto no es ron
es napalm traído del Vietcong
que equivocación!!
le pedí perdón
me tragué los buzios de Xangó!!
Me banqué al pekinés
pero te fuiste
igual te fuiste
así es como agradece una mujer
Mozo esto no es un escocés
es orina Yony Yilaver
me arrodillé a sus pies
pero vomité
así es como se pierde otra mujer
Me banqué al pekinés
pero te fuiste
igual te fuiste
me pasa por sensible y por cortés
Theres blood in the air tonight,
Mammoth crawls under the ice,
Too slow to be measured in time,
Suicide painted on his eyes.
I want animal skins,
I want a house made out of it,
How much I want to crawl back inside my mother,
I want a house made out of her.
How I want to wear the blood of my father.
All the way down into the hotel basements,
Stuffing her mouth with my fingers,
This is why we're in love,
This is what I needed to show you.
Hemingway save me,
Hemingway save me,
Hemingway save me,
Hemingway get me really fucked up.
Together we chose not to believe,
You are my strung out queen,
You're too sad to come with me,
Coat your Tongue with another lie about me.
Your brother betrays you.
Your friend kills you.
Your woman is dead.
The strong will inherit the earth.
I drink my,
I drink my GIN!!!!!
Gin!
Gin!
Gin!
It happened again late last night
When the moon was on the rise
I was sipping my favorite drink
And I was laughing and joking and
flirting with this stranger
Some guy
And sometimes I'm like a stupid little girl
Dressed up in my mama's high heeled shoes
And I'm playing at these grown up games
And I don't even know the rules
And I'm lying to myself
And I'll be lying next to him
Burying my loneliness in this gin
And I'll be flying high again
Band plays some slow number
And the booze is in my head
And these unknown hands caress my back
I'm gonna wake in an unfamiliar bed
When the last song is finished
And the band starts to pack it up
Bartender calls, ¡°Come on folks let's finish¡±
He knows we've had too much
And outside in the parking lot
We're gonna linger ¡®til the last car drives away
And I'm thinking I can love this guy just tonight
Keep my devils all at bay
chorus
In the darkness of this room
We can't see each other's eyes
And sweet blindness makes love to me
Approves of my disguise
In the morning not much to say
Words hang heavy in the air
And I quickly throw on my wrinkled dress
Run my fingers through my tangled messed up hair
chorus
