This page depends on your contributions. All slang is welcome, but because
there are so many thousands of drug item terms around (e.g. "blunt",
"shake", "smack", etc.) I'd like to keep them to a minimum. If you are looking
for such words, try the On-line
Dictionary of Street Drug Slang at Indiana University. All slang pertaining
to the condition of being influenced by drugs is welcome. Additionally,
because so many slang words are sexual in origin they are impossible to
avoid. I would like to record as few sex-based terms as is feasible, for
dictionaries containing many such terms become rather disgusting to read.
This is designed to be a global dictionary: English slang from other
countries is more than welcome. Some of these terms may be outdated but I
will keep even antiquated slang. A note on spelling: because slang is usually
spoken, a single term could be spelled multiple ways. For many (e.g.
"jonesing" and "bugging") the difference may be as simple as dropping the
trailing "g". For others, the difference may be greater.
Thanks!
