A flask is una petaca over here. Frasco means jar.

Un frasco se usa para poner mermelada, conservas, especias, etc. Tiene boca ancha y es de vidrio.
Una botella puede ser de plástico o vidrio, tiene boca angosta y sirve para guardar líquidos. En el ejemplo de la palabra del día, yo creo que "frasco de bolsillo" se diría mejor como "cantimplora", que es una botella con una correa para colgarse de la cintura o del hombro. ![]() Sin embargo, ahora casi nadie usa cantimploras, sino más bien botellas de agua que compran en cualquier lugar. ![]() Papá, ¿me ayudas a abrir el frasco de aceitunas? Dad, will you help me open this olive jar?

Busqué en el diccionario Webster y aparece que flask es una botella que se usa para llevarla, generalmente oculta y con alcohol. Petaca = flask. Aunque flask alguna veces se traduce como botella o frasco y termo también. ver http://www.wordreference.com/es/tran...nes&B10=Search |

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. |

Interesante...
Y, ¿saben quién es el patrón de los boticarios o farmacéuticos? -San Frasquito de Sales...

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