Description

Excerpt from A Dictionary of Slang, Jargon Cant, Vol. 2: Embracing English, American, and Anglo-Indian Slang Pidgin English, Gypsies'' Jargon and Other Irregular Phraseology

This term is still used by the low class of actors. It is curious to note that laigue, in old French argot, signifies water, from the Spanish agua, with the article prefixed. But there is no evidence that the English term is from the French laigue.
