Also, what about the yucky-sounding word nalguera for a synonym? Last edited by Rusty; December 22, 2014 at 08:45 PM. Reason: added quote |

"Ánfora" has a broad meaning, but the word "anforita" is used especifically for a hipflask, because it's small enough to fit in the back pocket of pants or in the inner pocket of a jacket.
I don't know where "nalguera" is used, but I guess it's the back pocket what would give it that name. For what I see in the DRAE, that might be the same origin for "petaca", since that's a slang word for the buttocks too, but I definitely have never heard that word used for a hipflask in Mexico.

I saw the word here
http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-474475039-cantimplora-nalguera-de-8oz-acero-inox-_JM so maybe it's a regional usage; I certainly don't plan to adopt it myself, much preferring to say la anforita as you mentioned. |

@Glen: I see. I really have never heard the word... but I have never known anybody who would actually use one either.

Tengo un frasco. Uso mi frasco para beber el agua.

Although it's possible to drink from a "frasco", I think you are rather thinking of a "botella".
