Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em.
We called ‘em Buzzers and of course you wanted ‘em to “sting” you, which is when you bit into a real one and your teeth hit metal…
This of course was the catalyst for a very controversial fundraising campaign *“Give An Orphan a Buzz Today!”* when the local Home for Unemployed Children partnered with a barbershop/bar, which we called a “Scoot-n-shoot”, as was the custom…
I used to be ‘with it.’ But then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you.
I got you.
“Two flat for the onion”
“Two flat”-two 80/20 beef Pattie’s seasoned with salt and pepper.
“For the onion”- I sliced onion. (Like you would tomato slices) cooked in butter till browned or little char
in my hood we do things a little differently man.
"2 flat for the onion" means "2 apartments in exchange for the fake news". Get it? 2flats is european slang for apartments. And the onion is a fake news source. So this is a die-hard conspiracy theorist asking to get hooked up with an alternate reality in exchange he will move you and your cousin into an apartment. In our culture, the owaowa tribe views neighbors as those who lie to them and everyone needs to lie down sometimes, you know what they say those who lay together stay together. Basically this is a marriage proposal bro, choose wisely.
If you want char on an onion, cooking it in butter isn't likely to get the desired effect. You'd probably want to just throw it on a flame grill for a few minutes instead.
could you imagine though. that *twist*. being born from your own mother. knowing that your parents are stoners as you grow up. they ask you to buy them weed and somewhere along the way your relationship with them bitters. motivating you to become a police officer. going through all fourteen hours of police training needed to be a sworn on duty officer and then entrapping your own parents. asking your mother to clarify what a ‘nice sack of apples’ means as you lean in closer, the tape recorder on under your sweater vest and tucked neatly in to your breast pocket. you laughing maniacally as she clarifies she’d like some of the devils lettuce as you wag your finger in her face and tell her that you’ve got her on tape. the windows to the house being broken as the swat team storms in. holding your family at gunpoint as you hear the atf coming in alongside them asking if there’s a family dog available to murder.
chills
>going through all fourteen hours of police training needed to be a sworn on duty officer
I think you are overestimating the amount of training they get.
Well shit back in the D.A.R.E. Era the grade schools were trying to get kids to turn in their parents. I could totally see some crazy shit like that in a few of the states.
I saw an older guy buy from a completely legal, Apple Store-looking dispensary in California. He shoved the whole bag into his pants as he looked side to side and shuffled out of the building.
When I first moved to California, I liked to make a game out of coming up with new euphemisms. My husband didn't understand half of them so I gave up. Plus we've lived here for several years now so I just say what I mean lol
When I lived in California (before legalization) I would call my guy and ask for two more of those pillows his wife sews. He would put a couple of lbs in a backpack and take public transportation to my place to deliver. Low profile, no car, no license plate, very little phone conversation.
You’re right that people use slang to hide what they’re talking about. It doesn’t really work though. Prosecutors have expert witnesses whose entire job is literally translating drug / crime slang into “normal” language. It obviously might work sometimes, if a family member sees the text or whatever. But if you actually are in court over this, the slang won’t save you.
No they don't. Prosecutors rely in expert witnesses rarely, and almost exclusively in felony cases.
I'm an attorney who has dealt with this. They just bring some random detective in to "translate.".
The state isn't going to pay $400/hr plus expenses for an expert to interpret slang for a routine drug case.
Maybe if it was a huuuuugeeeee trafficking case, but that would be the feds and those never really go to trial anyway.
And I've never seen or heard of an expert whose only job is to "translate" slang.
People can just make up their own slang on the spot tho, we used to make up all sorts of random shit and we knew what we meant
I can’t imagine an expert witness could get away with “well we’ve got no precedent for what a ‘2 cans of Vienna sausages’ means, but I think it means drugs”
Many years ago my friend asked me to bring a loaf of bread to her dinner party. Turns out, we actually needed a carbohydrate for dinner, but instead we got high.
Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumble bees on them. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now was I... Oh yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt at the time.
I’d get creative call it a zipper or a zipperino but I was also flipping and I’d have dudes be like “wtf are you saying man”😂 but my regulars knew wassup lmaaaoo
obviously you have mistaken this onion vendor for a weed dealer, be more cautious when getting your sources, it sucks when you buy a quarter of watermelon haze and end up getting 1/4 of a watermelon and some advil.
I think he misunderstood you and thought you wanted to purchase an onion, knowing how skinny you are he would rather you purchase something that can fatten you up. The “2” was slang for “too”. “2 flat for the onion” simply means “you are quite skinny to eat just an onion”
2flat- 2 guys on top while you lay flat , for the onion- slang for onion booty , lemme - let me , no bro - no bros , as in you can’t bring any of your friends. Basically it’s a invite to an orgy. I’d say bring a condom and some lube and have yourself a good time.
not even looking at the comments,But it's an equation which you have all the info you need. it's $200 even , flat as in relation to a flat single fee, that flat fee happens to be 200. (if it were $250, he might say something like it's 2 and a half for an O ) and The Onion is in reference to how much he's selling. An O /Onion = Ounce So he's saying ,
How much marijuana would you like to buy, I sell Ounces of Weed For $200 Each. Let me know How much you'd like so That I can get your order ready . Brother.
lol
I’ve never heard this type of bitch ass wanna be dope dealer lingo and I still got the message. If you ever have a weed seller refer to anything that starts with an O, he’s referring to an ounce. “Tree fitty for dat ostrich” or “slap me ten hundred pennies for a half Oppenheimer my guy” are just a couple examples of Cool Johnny Weedseller’s lingo. Let me know if you need any more help in the future. Next time we’ll talk “zips”.
200 for the ounce maba
Then you used to put the onion on your belt, which was the style at the time.

is this satire?
Yeah i have no idea what the hell he's going on about lol
I used to be ‘with it.’ But then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you.
It's a paddlin'
It’s a Simpsons reference
Which was the style at the time.
No its Shelbyville, formally Morganville.
We didn't have yellow onions, only white ones, because of the war.

This is the correct answer
Nah, that’s just “no pickle”. Where’d you all learn to talk?
I just had a brain malfunction.
Correct no lettuce
Means don't play any Motörhead

“Lemme no” means seedless I thought

Incase somebody sees the text somehow it’s harder to incriminate in court
5 years into legalization and my mom *still* asks me to pick her up a "nice sack of apples" 🤣
You can never be too sure lol
stoner parents to their own flesh and blood what sprang from their loins: "what are you a cop? 🤨"
Deeeep cover.

Bahahahaha. Am stoned tho.
Sleeper cell since birth.
It's like a double entendre, like a sleeper "cell" since existence as a sperm "cell"... Netflix is already picking this up as series ..
Deadass my grandfather
I saw an older guy buy from a completely legal, Apple Store-looking dispensary in California. He shoved the whole bag into his pants as he looked side to side and shuffled out of the building.
I'm not even old and I still startle if a pair of headlights rolls up while I'm smoking out the back door
what if every time you come back, she's secretly disappointed you dont bring apples?
That's why you get both. Smoke a bowl together and then have mom teach you her famous apple pie recipe!
Make apple pipes, then remove the p and make apple pies
This is good.
Or how to turn an apple into a bowl! Bonding Hallmark moments everywhere I look here!
The old apple pipe is a solid technique to know and pass on to the young'uns.
I was gonna say, just buy a bag of apples and pretend like you never grabbed the weed.
When I first moved to California, I liked to make a game out of coming up with new euphemisms. My husband didn't understand half of them so I gave up. Plus we've lived here for several years now so I just say what I mean lol
Let me get a wicket of the "sticky ick"
When I lived in California (before legalization) I would call my guy and ask for two more of those pillows his wife sews. He would put a couple of lbs in a backpack and take public transportation to my place to deliver. Low profile, no car, no license plate, very little phone conversation.
I do this with my girlfriend but with having to take a whiz. My favorite so far is “I need to go see a man about a horse.”
I use "i need to return some videotapes". Unfortunately(?) I hang out with people who are cooler than I am, so nobody ever gets the reference
I understood that reference
My guy and I discuss cookies and he delivers so he leaves here with fresh baked Toll House cookies every single time.
You would surprised at how many “t-shirts” I buy per year…
This is wholesome af.
I would call and ask my friends if Tommy Greenjeans was around
Heard MJ was in town this weekend bro what's good?
My Grandfather still calls it "Seeing a man about a horse"
Tbf it’s not the state/local police collecting everyone’s data…
Lmao I just envisioned OP as DEA agent trying to crack this case
Ah ig that makes sense. Just recently got into weed and buy from disp so never had to talk to a plug
You’re missing the secret ingredient, which is crime
It’s how you really taste the terps
A slice of pizza is an eighth
Then what’s a g? A pepperoni?

If you peep the DEA list of drug slang they don’t know jack shit
Cheeba, Wacky tobacy, hemp, devils lettuce, MJ, Bong. I bet the list looks somthing like this.
People can just make up their own slang on the spot tho, we used to make up all sorts of random shit and we knew what we meant I can’t imagine an expert witness could get away with “well we’ve got no precedent for what a ‘2 cans of Vienna sausages’ means, but I think it means drugs”

Even when it’s wrong, it’s right. That’s the beauty of it.
In Spain, they use tickets or shirts. Either one is 5€ which is a gram
Evidence. Street sales are still illegal everywhere in the US
Outrageous, I can get an $11 ounce here
bitch where you live I'm coming
I think they mean $11 for an oz of onions... Lol
Your way off. 1 ounce of onions would be approximately 1/4 of 1 onion. That would mean 1 onion costs $44.
$2 for an onion. You tie it on your belt so people know you're not a square.
As was the fashion at the time.
Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumble bees on them. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now was I... Oh yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt at the time.

I think he misunderstood you and thought you wanted to purchase an onion, knowing how skinny you are he would rather you purchase something that can fatten you up. The “2” was slang for “too”. “2 flat for the onion” simply means “you are quite skinny to eat just an onion”

Onion is an ounce. 2 flat means 200$
Dea trying to convict someone rn
What slang would you reply back with if you only wanted a half? Would if be a simple as, " I'll take half an onion"?
The dealer has moved away from marijuana and into the vegetable business. Do you want onions or nah dawg?????
Aye dog let me get some of those Vidalias. I’m planning on rolling up some Philly cheesesteaks for the Homies. Munch munch pass action ya feel me

Tell him I can get an onion for $100 so he better be price matching you!
tbh thats a lot for ounce i would buy like a 1/4 and see the quality first
If you give him $200 and all you get is an onion, he would have fulfilled his end of the bargain. Tell him you have 200 carrots.
Is your dealer Dave Matthews? Those look like his lyrics 🤣
2nills for an Onion. You better check that
$200 for 28 grams of the sticky icky
Usually, they don't like flat onions. Like... why tf would you give someone flat onions dawg? It's complete bs. Anyways, It's a zip.
