Sandra in Sydney	Is 'shanty' derived from 'chanson' (43)	RE: Is 'shanty' derived from 'chanson'	04 Jun 18
& following up from JennyO's post of 25 Mar 04 - 05:04 AM Q, I'm an Australian, and I have never heard of a shanty being the name of a place to sell liquor. We usually call it the bottle shop. She was referring to today's Bottle Shops where folks can buy alcohol to take away, Q was referring to 19th century shacks mentioned in various folk songs where alcohol was sold for consumption on the premises & the blokes consuming were usually sold inferior alcohol & often robbed! sandra
