Livener

Poor, simple Eddie, whose weary smile and ubiquitous brown leather waistcoat gave him the air of a long-suffering medieval farrier, was forever being dragged into subplots he couldn't understand when he'd much rather be trudging into the Argee Bhajee for an unhurried lunchtime livener. ❋ Unknown (2011)

When I'm putting together alovely livener, I don't want it to belet down by poor-quality mixers filled with preservatives and cheap, artificial sweeteners. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Christ knows what they would do if the entire population "popped out for a livener" on a Friday night over here. ❋ Fathorse (2008)

He thought a livener might be in order but there was a gentleman in uniform by the library door. ❋ Jamie O’Neill (2002)

He had joy of many widows and spinsters, to each of whom he said: "There's a grief-livener you are," and all of whom he gave over on hearing of the widow of Drefach. ❋ Caradoc Evans (N/A)

Nevertheless, the need was pleaded, the interest of the band enlisted; a notorious character, saved from a life of sin, was coming from another corps to give his story; a startling bill inviting all to come, drunk or sober; a livener provided free, was well distributed by a band of scouts who had caught the spirit of the effort. ❋ Minnie Lindsay Rowell Carpenter (N/A)

"A tray bit, missus -- just thruppence -- a mouldy thruppence to get a livener." ❋ M. Leonora Eyles (1924)

Years after I met the same gentleman at another entertainer's table, where I found him in my presence not quite the livener-up they had expected, and he seemed a little shy of me; probably he thought me an omniscient, for I never told the poor man I had found him out. ❋ Tupper, Martin F (1886)

I only once met Theodore Hook, and that was in his decadence; he looked puffy and only semi-sober; but I recollect with how much deference and expectation the “livener-up” was eagerly surrounded, and how sillily the dupes laughed at every word he uttered, whether humorous or not. ❋ Tupper, Martin F (1886)

You: Are you coming out this morning? Me: Wait til I have a [wee] livener... Me: God, I'm soooo drunk.... You: Here, have this coke, [amphetamine].... Me: [Just what] I need, a wee livener! ❋ Elle Emm (2008)

[Clough]: I feel rough from last night. Might go [the local] for a [livener]. ❋ Loudeyzo (2018)
