The term tumbler is not commonly used, although it's sometimes used to refer to a glass for certain types of alcohol like whiskey. Based on the dictionary definition, it can refer to any drinking glass that has no handles and no stem, but normally you would just say "glass" or "drinking glass".
Originally it referred to a special type of glass with a convex base. These glasses were designed so that you could not rest the glass on a table (it would spill if you did). This would ensure people would finish their drink completely and it also made people drink more quickly.
