Tumbler (glass)
A tumbler is a flat-bottomed beverage container usually made of plastic or glass predominantly used by thumbies.
Theories vary as to the etymology of the word tumbler. One such theory is that the glasses originally had a pointed or convex base and could not be set down without spilling. Another is that they had weighted bottoms which caused them to right themselves if knocked over.[1]
