I haven''t heard the word 'tumbler' used for a long time.
I always hear 'glass'.

I think that in the States 'tumbler' is used to refer to a covered container which otherwise might be called a 'mug'. These, of course, are the vessels that are more sophisticated than just a paper cup.

To me, a mug is a big cup. Without a cover..

I've tried several times to post a link or a picture of a tumbler, but I've forgotten how to do it. For an image, Google tumbler/images and you'll see what I'm talking about. Meanwhile, I'll try to figure out how to do all this.
