When you see the tv show "top gear" youre secretly wishing it was a show telling you where the best dope is.
Sorry to double post: you might be a junkie if saying "syringe" seems strange or foreign, but saying the many slangs (rigs, points, works, pins, etc) is just automatic
I usually always call syringes, syringes majority of time. Other than that I'll call them rigs or needles. Though needles could be comsidered partially wrong as it indicates only one section - consisting of the hub and shaft [the cut at the end is the bevel. The hollow bore is the lumen]. Same goes for syringe, as it is - the barrel and the plunger. They are techniqually neither describing the full apparatus of syringe and needle. Hypodermic syringe might be more accurate name since it implies a needle existing (hypodermic - beneath the skin). I honestly really have only heard people call them pins, works, or points on BL. Most people I know just call them needles, rigs, or syringes.
I call them syringes mainly because of I guess my training/education from pharmacy and what not.
Anyway, you might be a junkie if the Walmart pharmacy staff starts recognizing your face and immediately walk towards the boxes of syringes before you finish telling them, what exactly you want. Every time you walk in you have a huge grin on your face, acting so polite because you know picking up the rigs is the last place to go besides home/bliss. I swear I'm the friendliest person when I go to pharmacies to either pick up prescriptions or when I'm buying a 10pack of 29g 12.7mm needles 1cc syringes.
You might be a junkie when you've already scored and are on the way home, and can't help but yell at your window towards a cop car that you got a fat sack filled with dope and are about to shoot a fat shot (of course never where they can hear you or any of the cops in the hood [thought one day I thought i was gonna get followed real soon because my friend and I saw a cop begin to pass us and turn his head right at the two of us, so I don't even dare risk anything, especially after being followed one day through downtown dallas for miles one time].
You might be a junkie when you have to buy the top of the line plunger because everytime you take a shit, the toilet is automatically clogged, and a cheap old plunger just ends up spraying shit everywhere. Toilets were not designed with junkies in mind. (you may be a junkie when talking about how terrible your shit was is not a taboo topic).
