The Word today is GIN! (AGAIN?!?!?!?)

Hello everybody!
Yes, we have one more post for today…. we’re on fire!
And the second word is: GIN
Do you know what gin means? Probably you already heard someone ordering it in a bar. It’s is an alcoholic drink made of cereals and juniperus berries and it’s used on many cocktails such as martinis. But this word also means a cotton-separating machine.
 What else? In what more cases can we use this word? Let’s find out:

To gin up: to excite/to boost or to drink (particularly gin)

Well, that is it for today (well, nobody knows....)
