I suspected it could have a similar meaning in English, at least it doesn't surprise me a lot, but in Swedish it specifically means drinking, without any sort of ambiguity.

Sup is not archaic English usage. And supped (the biblical quote [misquoted?] used to make the "what's up" joke) is not archaic either.
e.g. he supped at his hot cup of tea.

My point was only in regard to Wingman's comment: why would you need to be exclusively Swedish to understand the connection of the quote to drinking. You don't. This is pretty much what is means in English too.

There ain't anything without any sort of ambiguity in English, I suspect.

I was Googling looking for a Lego Dave Murray, but Megadave will do!

I suppose the word supper, as in evening meal, is what tricked me into believing the main usage in English would be in reference to eating. And then there is the similar word sip which I thought to be more commonly used. One learns every day.

Now get back to the funny pictures please.

I'd guess sup/sip/supper are all etymological related. Certainly today most people would associate (in the UK) sup or sip specifically with drinking something; but not particularly with alcohol. But I gather the word means a small quantity of either food or drink i.e. the meaning intended by the use in the biblical quote (by Paul?).

Megadave, albeit being a junkie nutcase, is a fucking legend.

Humbly congratulating you on your post No. 14,000 which happens to include the name Dave as well.

Cried, ever considered a life of the Chinese spam bot?

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Like being a bot, is that what you mean?

In American English, "Sup" is a contraction of "what's up".
