Word for the day: January 2005 Archives

My new phrase for however long it remains interesting to me and depending how often I can use appropriately in conversation is:Booger-sugar.

It's a euphamism I heard on TV for cocaine that I've never encountered before (though quite honestly, I'm about as up on current drug slang as I am on who's the leader in rushes and downs in the AFL this season) but it's so kiddish and scatological that I simply love it. At first thought, it's what you might call powdered Kool-Aid when you tried to snort as a kid and your nose started running cherry-colored snot...but I digress. As I'm not much of a cocaine user, I would consider it if I could call my dealer and ask for booger sugar, ask how much an eight-ball of booger sugar costs, or tell my sniffling, extraordinarily talkative and insightful friends to quit bogarting the booger sugar and make that rail like they mean it.

Booger sugar. Word for the day.
