EN: drinking glass (for liquor); shot glass
This is the sacred vessel, the Holy Grail of inuman sessions. It's the designated glass that gets passed around the circle. It could be a proper shot glass, a small plastic cup, or even the cap of the liquor bottle. Losing the tagayan is a minor crisis. "Nasaan na 'yung tagayan?" is a question that signals the party is getting serious.
From "tagay" (toast/drink) + "-an" (locative/instrumental suffix).
