Not necessarily disagreeing with your overall point, but Cheba Hut is a nationwide chain that has been in existence for almost 20 years, long before any legalization. I think it started in Arizona and there used to be one in Louisville, KY when I lived there 10 years ago.

In a lot of places, a “bone” is another word for a joint, not a cigarette. And “spliff” is most often used to refer to a joint that has tobacco mixed in. Those usages aren’t nearly as universal as blunt to mean a gutted and re-rolled cigar, but they’re pretty common.

Nope. Blunt because it comes from the name if the cheap cigars used to roll it. They come with a pre-cut, “blunt” end, unlike fancier cigars that require you to snip the tip before lighting. Hence they are called “blunts.” It’s right on the box.

Sure, the people of certain regions may have misused a certain term so broadly and consistently that it becomes commonplace. But to pretend like there’s no widely agreed upon definition of a “blunt” is silly. It comes directly from the name of the cheap, pre-cut cigars used to roll them. It’s right on the box. I’ve…

Blunt refers to the pre-cut, blunt end of the cheap cigars, as opposed to the more expensive ones where you have to snip the tip before lighting.

It’s not a being a particular size that makes those Phillies (or others) blunts, it’s that they have a pre-cut “blunt” end, as opposed to fancier, non-bodega/gas station cigars that require you to snip the tip before lighting.

Right. And the cigars are called “blunts” because they have one pre-cut, “blunt” end, as opposed to your fancier cigars that require you to snip the tip prior to lighting.

Lots and lots of people mix tobacco with their weed. In Europe you’re unlikely to find anyone that rolls purely weed joints. But the tobacco/weed blend is called a “spliff.” A “joint” is just a weed cigarette made with rolling papers.

You’re either just plain wrong about this or from somewhere in the country with very different terminology that the vast majority of the rest of the country. A joint is a marijuana cigarette rolled with rolling papers. A blunt is traditionally a “blunt” cigar, i.e., those sold with a flat, pre-cut end, that has been…

This is oxycodone, not oxycontin, its much, much stronger cousin and the drug normally referredn to as “oxy.” Thankfully for these kids, oxycodone doesn’t pack quite the knockout punch.

I acknowledge that the regulations may in some ways be needlessly burdensome and that there may be fixes that would allow them to be just as effective while improving patient care. However, I think it’s quite a stretch to say that they “cause more problems than they solve.” I live in a state where they were shoving…

I don’t think opioid crisis needs the scare quotes. It’s very much a real thing.

And may even come out of this with a new job! http://kentuckysportsradio.com/basketball-2/tom-crean-is-a-candidate-to-become-uofls-interim-head-coach/

Glad I’m not alone in picking up on the strong KKK vibes there.

Really hope the Koncrete Kids weren’t from Kingston or Kunkletown.

This is not correct. A rodent newly introduced to an environment where it has few natural predators will likely out-compete indigenous mammals and can cause cascading negative effects on the ecosystem. But this animal has obviously been living on this island a long time and hasn’t yet destroyed the environment, in…

As NerdyManJoe says, this is the best move for the Bulls. No team was willing to give up assets in order to overpay Wade. His presence on the team next season likely worsens their draft pick and slows the development of their young guys, not to mention costing them 8 million additional dollars. Unless you are trying…

For all the outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen (or people with fireplaces/woodstoves), the wrappers make a pretty dang good fire starter.

If putting a t-shirt on arms first is uncomfortable for you, I think you’re doing it wrong, or else your shirts are waaaay too small.

I’ve got a similar (not quite as hot) bottle and the only way it is functional for me is to dip just the tip of a toothpick and stir it into a large pot of chili. Gives a nice background heat that complements the flavor of the milder peppers in the chili.
