Prinks
意味: Pre-drinks; alcoholic beverages consumed before going out, short for 'pre-game drinks.'
Prinks (a blend of 'pre' and 'drinks') is a more casual, shortened version of 'pre-game drinks.' It refers to the drinks you have at someone's house before heading to a bar, club, or event. While 'pregaming' is more common in American English, 'prinks' is gaining popularity, especially among younger adults influenced by social media.
