 JW> A shot can be anything but a jigger is a jigger: 1.5 oz.

In Canuckistan maybe. In the rest of the world there are as many sizes of
jigger as there are shot glasses. To wit:

"A jigger is measuring device that has two sides to it, one that is bigger than
the other. The whole thing is referred to as a jigger but the bigger side is
the actual jigger. The smaller side is called the pony. Jiggers come in many
different sizes, but I would recommend finding one that measures 1 1/2 ounces
from the jigger and 1 ounce from the pony." From: http://www.barmixmaster.com

Mrs. Grundy and her blue noses have a lot to answer for.
