Don't be panicin' if you can't find your pannikin. It may be in the dishwasher.
A pannikin is a small drinking cup, typically enameled metal.

Wrong forum to suggest, my apologies.

A mug! I had always assumed a pannikin was a basket - used for carrying bread - hence the word. I shall look it up.

Looks like I am wrong again. Nothing unusual in that.
Seems a pannikin is a little pan. Easy enough to see how a mug is derived from that. And it looks as though I have been confused by the word pannier which may well have been a bread basket. Difficult to imagine that a pannikin is not a little pannier. But again, just shows how little imagination I have.
