Serving Jig

Word origins, etymology?

Could this be a possible word origin link?
Jig(gigue)- an Irish dance song
jigger- a shot of alcohol (perhaps served in a jig dange hall?)
jigger- somewhat derogatory term for a black person

since both blacks and Irish were in basically equivalent social status (the slave class, lowest working classes, I've read resources that indicated they were in basically the same class level, but few Irish in the southern US) back in the day... such that they perhaps converged in dance halls to drink and dance together?
And not to forget also that both blacks and those of Irish ancestry are notorious for being well endowed
but I guess that's a different story altogether

The Gigue was a French dance that appeared very lively, especially compared to the stately minuets that surrounded it. The term was adopted for any lively dance, and not only by the Irish; sailors often "danced the jig" to a fiddle tune when on board in the evening. The American South was largely settled by Scots-Irish, and it was natural for them to refer to the fast dances of slaves as "the jig." The same was true in the Northern cities of New York and Boston. Ultimately, of course, the custom degenerated into calling all blacks "jigs." Your etymology of the "jigger" is pretty good--a 1 1/2 oz. shot went down fast, in "jig time," and certainly made many want to dance.

Uh, I don't think "endowment" has anything to do with it, and you might draw some flak on that one.
