A jigger, a measure of alcoholic beverage ingredients, and the tool used to measure them

A jigger flea or chigoe flea, a parasitic arthropod found in tropical climates that may cause an inflammatory skin disease

A jigger mast or jiggermast, the aftmost mast of a four-masted sailing ship.

A machine used in the production of pottery

A Liverpool term for an alleyway

A pallet jack

A Surveyors Total Station

A tool for setting fish nets under ice, made of wood and metal and operated via rope from the surface

Haven't heard that used for alcoholic beverages for years, but, I haven't had any liquor this year.

Thanks for the adds.

"Chiggers, the immature stage of certain mite species, most frequently occur in overgrown brushy or grassy areas, especially where small rodents are abundant. Also, they may be congregated in shady, humid areas near stream banks, under or around trees, or in berry thickets.



The body’s reaction to digestive enzymes that chiggers use to liquefy skin cells causes the rash, intense itching, and misery that begins a few hours after they have fed. Chiggers tend to attach where the skin is thin, tender, or wrinkled, or where clothing is tight. They do not burrow into the skin, do not feed on blood, and do not carry diseases..."
