Teetotallers

Teetotallers

Teetotallers, in England u. Amerika die Mitglieder der Enthaltsamkeitsvereine, welche sich aller berauschenden Getränke enthalten. Das Wort wird erklärt als eine Verstärkung von total (all, gänzlich); die Schreibart Teatotaller, Theetrinker, ist nicht richtig, obgleich die T. auf Getränke wie Thee sich beschränken.
