I'm being confused about the meaning or origin of the word Dipper as a nickname in Afro-American blues and jazz circles of the 1920s - 1930s.
Louis Armstrong was called 'Dippermouth' and there has been a blues singer who went by the name 'Dipper Boy'.
There is also a 1923 tune called Dipper Mouth Blues and it is rumoured that gave Armstrong his nickname. But why?
