We ALL know specifically what it represents.... "Coke n' Heroin" ... but not all of use use those drugs anymore or want to..... So we give a little lee-way, HENCE the title "Pharmaceutical Speedball .... "
So yes we understand only true badasses shoot up coke and heroin together; unfortunately for you Speedball is a quite general term these days.
It aint "unfortunate for me". A speedball "these days" means wat the fuck it is. A speedball. Heroin and coke in a shot. YOU might call watever random-ass combination of drugs you do a "speedball", but that dont mean that the word applies to it. And that dont mean that real people, in the real world, will accept that definition either. Talk that shit all you want on the internet, in real life, a speedball means coke and dope IV, anybody you ask will tell you that, and thats all it is. You dont change the meaning of a word by using it to refer to some other shit.
If you want to talk about doin other combinations of drugs together cuz you cant or wont do coke and dope IV, then you can do that just fine, but dont call it a speedball, cuz it aint. Just becuz you dont do coke or dope or shoot up, you think you "deserve" a word for the shit you DO do, so you steal "speedball" and then be like "yo, these days, it applies to ANY combination, you should know that, duh!" lol.
its a word with a specific fuckin meaning. Thats why we got words. Becuz a word, refers to a certain thing, and thats wat it means. They aint interchangeable to apply to any fuckin thing you want it to. Like i said before. You dont use "rum and coke" to apply to a drink of gin and sprite , just becuz they both liquor and soda. You dont call a microwave a toaster becuz they both cook shit. you dont call a cigarette a cigar cuz they both somethin you smoke.
If you doing a combination of uppers and downers together, then make up some other name for it or just call it wat it is, I dont give a fuck, but calling it a speedball is retarded. It never been, and never will be, xanax and ritalin or some shit like that. When you get so into it like NO, its a speedball, i can call it watever i want! its ridiculous.
It aint about makin it into some kind of badass club, that you only a member of if you did a "real" speedball. It aint about nothing except using the words to describe the shit they stand for.
You dont call a chair a table becuz they both got 4 legs and made of wood.
You dont call a shirt pants becuz theres 2 tubes with holes at the end and one big hole at the top.
The only fucking place i EVER heard a single person talk about a "speedball" that DIDNT refer to a shot of coke and dope was here on BL, where theres a ton of kids all talkin about shit that aint even close to how it happens in real life, but becuz they aint really involved in the drug scene in real life, they come on here and talk about it and make up all kind of shit like "a speedball can mean any combination of drugs you want it to, get with the times yo!"
"These days" it still means the real meaning. the meaning aint changed just becuz you want it to be different so you can be included and say you did a "speedball" when you sniffed some adderall and popped some vicodin.
You might call it some other shit on the internet, but that dont change the fact that speedball dont mean none of the things people been saying here.
You ask somebody in real life if they want to do a speedball and they aint gonna be talkin about no fucking mix of snorted pills or no shit like that.
Straight up, you are just making up a new meaning for a word that already got a meaning.
Go make up some new name for the combos of upper and downer pharms you do.
Callin it a speedball is just retarded, willfull ignorance. You know that shit aint wat it is but you wanna keep callin it that.
If you ever read the guidelines of DC, which is the original forum this was in, you know wat it says in there?
"dont use words for drugs or combinations of drugs that you made up or that only you know. Use well known, common names that everybody knows and understands."
Callin a speedball anything but wat it really is, just confuses people and dont even fit with the guidelines, which were made so that people can have a easier time understanding each other when it comes to drug slang.
Do everybody a favor and call it wat the fuck it is, if you wanna talk about sniffing K and adderall or oxys and desoxyn or WTF ever, just call that wat that is.
I dont understand why people do that shit, call the sht they do a speedball when they know damn well it aint, it dont make sense, it makes it harder for people to understand the shit you sayin, its pointless.
