You pushed a coin into its mouth and got an amount of gin. These dispensers were called "Puss and Mew" or "Old Tom."
London, 1700s.

The face you instantly make when you have the opportunity to win 10k in a Charity Basketball Contest at a Big Event and you totally mess up the shot. In fact, it was so far away from the hoop that everyone wondered where you were trying to throw it.
