Does it annoy anyone else when people say

That they do weed? Or that they're on weed?

I always thought that sounded wrong like, you don't do cigarettes and you're not on alcohol.

I just say I smoked some dank and now I'm baked as fuck :ssmokeit:

 

Who cares man? It actually annoys me more when people are word snobs, frowning upon certain language because it's not hip. Some people don't know your lingo, that's not their fault.

 

It's not certain language it's just proper English. Now-a-days people speak like fucking retards.

 

I think we can be confident that 100 years ago you would be more likely to hear "i'm on aspirin" or morphine than 'I'm baked"

 

yeah, to be fair I was going to say

being baked means to be put in an oven, and heated over a period of time, correct? Until your golden brown and crispy

 

There's a difference between slang and grammar.

 

No there's not, they are all words end of the day

 

And when did 'dank' enter the dictionary? It's not in mine but maybe that's because it's not the Doobie60 certified "proper English" edition

 

Dank –adjective, -er, -est.
unpleasantly moist or humid; damp and, often, chilly: a dank cellar.

It's used as a term for weed because something that is dank smelling smells kinda' like weed.

Now, feel free to suck my balls.

 

colloquialisms can be confusing...

mostly they work... but "dank" is a word i'd never use for something i enjoy

 

Slightly, yes. But it also annoys me slightly when people think weed has nothing to do with drugs because it's natural and not manufactured.

 

everything comes from the earth.... humans can't create anything new. We just process, mix, refine etc things we can find

 

What makes something a drug? Bananas have chemicals which make people happy, are they drugs? Sugar makes you hyper, is sugar a drug?

Maybe everything is a drug

 

Yeah, it's mostly American. For a while I always pictured dank as like, week old wet boxer shorts or something :ack2:

 

It kind of does, but mainly because I'm just not used to saying that. I generally use "on" and "do" for harder drugs. "I'm on coke." "We're doing acid tonight." Honestly, I think that the only reason I say it this way is because I smoke so much weed my vocabulary has gotten more specific. I have a lot more words that describe getting baked, so it seems kind of weird to just say "doing weed."

 

Good point. Who thought smoking weed would expand your vocabulary? :sifone:

Meanwhile at the Legion of Doom, I also agree with the hard drugs thing. But if someone says "I do crack" instead of "I smoke crack" it still sounds weird to me. Maybe it just has to do with drugs you smoke.

 

lmao reminded me of mitch hedberg

 

I get more annoyed when people pull the "nah man weed isn't a drug, it's natural" card. There's nothing really natural about inhaling a plant you purposely set on fire under a controlled setting in a man made piece designed to control the burn and direct the smoke of said burning materials in an effort to alter your natural body chemistry.

 

I think it implies that you're, "Turned on," by that substance. So to speak.
