<p>O.K. maybe ‘secret’ isn’t the right word. It’s definitely drug lingo that the average non-drug user might not have heard.</p>

22

<p>Well, darn. I’ve sent three kids to college and thought I had achieved ultimate hip status, but this term was news to me.</p>

23

<p>

</p>

<p>Too funny… thanks for my laugh of the day!</p>

24

<p>OMG…I am beyond clueless as usual…teri: I thought you were talking about Columbine…</p>

25

<p>Search through the “room-mates” section on Craigslist in any liberal city and you will find some specify “420 friendly” - I originally thought it was a bill number for legisislation on legalizing said substance. “Vote yes on House Bill 420”…</p>

<p>When I was in college a thousand years ago, the term of choice was “walk the dog”. You couldn’t smoke inside, so the girls who did made up “reasons” to be walking outside late at night…</p>

<p>At our high school kids are assigned a locker and keep for all four years. Oldest son got assigned locker #420 his freshman year. Sure enough his locker was always covered with notes and posters from all the stoners in school. Every so often he would get hauled into the office to explain all the “inappropriate” postings on his locker and he would have to explain 4/20 to some new teacher/aide/administrator. He thought it was pretty funny.</p>

<p>This is pretty well known. :)</p>

<p>Dragonmom, way back when I was in highschool (Catholic girls school) we called it “playing St. Stephen”. As if the nuns wouldn’t get the joke. (St. Stephen, the martyr, was stoned to death)</p>

29

<p>lololu, that’s pretty funny.</p>

<p>I was pretty clueless … “Hey Karen, it’s 11:30 and you’re in your pj’s, why the coat?”
“Ummm, Barbara and Susan and I are going out to … um… walk the dog…”</p>

<p>After the first trip when the roomie showed back up smelling funny and giggling and looking for snack food, I figured it out.</p>

<p>Between my allergies and my fear of being caught, I just stuck to beer.</p>

30

<p>Yeah, I was the same way, but since everyone went out to the woods to smoke, it was always fun to just go along and hang out. Usually only about half the girls would actually smoke, but we all went just to get outside and to be daring.</p>

31

<p>You must have gone to a college where it wasn’t always cold and drizzling…</p>

32

<p>Sorry, it was high school in the upper midwest – we were a hardy bunch!</p>

33

<p>

</p>

<p>Laughed out loud!</p>

34

<p>I had a buddy in college who called it “trying on shirts”, as in “I’m going to go over to Rob’s and try on some shirts.” Nobody was fooled, but it was a little funny when he would come back and say something like “I tried on two and a half shirts, and now I’m starving.”</p>
