Drug slang you hate

[bunnymunro]

if meth is crack then what do you call crack rock coke?

It's like calling a deaf dog...(crack cocaine) call it what you want, it still don't come

I don't like Ice for meth. Prefer shard, ping or goey. In perth shard is a popular term. Not so in canberra apparently....

 

[aussie101]

Shards is popular in sydney. We also started calling it pulse/poles ie "do you have any poles?" for some reason but pretty sure that was just my mates, i think someone made it up one night when we were fucked haha

And we used pingers for pills.

I still think/agree that the most annoying is when someone calls meth crack, its so stupid!

Im slowly getting used to junkie, i just had a bad experience with an ex-friend in a nightclub one night over the stupidest shit and he said it to me prompting a knee-jerk jab to his nose. I think i found it derogatory because i was just badly addicted to opiates at the time

 

[GustavoFring]

Yeah, I could see how you might feel a bit 'iffy' towards junky..

Also, I heard a new one for heroin the other day: Handbrake

I actually like this one.

i think the term 'crack' for shards gets used so often cause people smoke it out of a 'crackie'

I can see what you mean with regard to the glass pipes being similar and all.

However this is what I used (or something very similar to) for smoking freebase coke (aka pure crack):

Or when I was in Amsterdam we used something like this:

But when we smoked shards we used:

Also freebase coke/crack makes a crackling sound (hence the name) and we usually used a mini-blowtorch on it (but i have seen severe crack addicts smoking it out of just the glass stem, without a spherical bowl on the end like the shard pipe, and a normal lighter before).

Shards bubble and generally just requires a lighter (although we have used jet lighters on the pipe before)...

I hope this clears up any misconception held between "crack" and "meth"

Another slang term for shard floating around the south west is 'pud' or 'puddle'. "Got much pud left?"

 

[yeahbutno]

Oh actually i hate when people say 'smoking bongs', im not smoking the bong ffs

Never heard that one hey! But i can dig where it comes from, with the puddle forming in the bottom of the bowl

 

[cheesewiz]

i hate it when people say there stuff is "fire" meaning its good quality. Like "ya man this shits fire." seems like a lame attempt at sounding cool. I also dont like "tying off" meaning a heroin addict shooting up. And one thats floating around my group of friends is "bobbin' for cock" meaning your nodding off really hard going in an out so it looks like your sucking a dick.

 

[GustavoFring]

hahahaha @ bobbin' for cock!

 

[footscrazy]

"bobbin' for cock" meaning your nodding off really hard going in an out so it looks like your sucking a dick.

Ahaha, that's a good one.

I hope this clears up any misconception held between "crack" and "meth"

I think most of us are well aware of the difference between the drugs IMO people just use the term 'crack' because they're silly, I don't think that the name came about because people didn't actually know the difference, some dick mobs just think it sounds 'cooler'.

I like that one, I'm guessing it comes from 'icy poles'

 

[Sustanon]

I hate the term "base" which is referring to cut meth. It annoys the hell out of me argghh.

 

[laugh]

Slim shady was a base head, his face was red, ask dre

lmao thats fkcn hilarious!!

Good point, I'd say you are correct. And Icy Poles are an addiction in themselves!!

I hate it when people refer to methadone as "dome" instead of "done", as in drone. Or when people call oxycontin, "oxycotton".

A.

 

[tentram]

Yeah or when they call it (methadone) "meth" in regards to meth. Its mainly amercans which use it but its too easy to confuse with methamphetamine.

To be honest i dont like any slang that much because of the confusion. You can still be discrete and use proper terms if youve half a brain.

 

[Ashley]

You can still be discrete and use proper terms if youve half a brain.

Agreed.

A good code when discussing drugs and associated illegal products is not hard to invent and should be as cryptic to the untrained eye as possible. I find people mainly use these annoying slang terms in general conversation, and to be frank, some of the drug slang that people use really makes me embarrassed for them.

A.

'half a brain' & 'common sense' are becoming more & more elusive, perhaps, even soon to be extinct..
