How do you say "bidon" in English? (image for reference9 Hello everybody, What do you call this item? It's called "bidon" in Spanish. I found "jerrycan", but I think that is only for gasoline. In the image you will see one for a more domestic use. http://www.plasval.cl/sitio2016/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Bido%CC%81n-PE-5.0-kg-1-300x300.jpg Thanks in advance for your help,

The word "jerrycan" is used to describe the container for carrying gasoline/petrol and is shaped like the object in your picture. A jerrycan carries many quarts/liters of liquid. Otherwise, it's a plastic bottle. The word "jug" is usually limited to open containers (no cover) that are used for serving drinks like water or sangria. Jugs generally have a handle, too.

I would say water bottle and specify the capacity.

Thank you...isn't "jug" also used for serving juice? The "bidon" is kind of more for carrying any type of liquid.
