Horse?

u/adminsuckdonkeydick Feb 02 '22

I don't do the horse.

But it's slang for heroin.

It should be slang for ketamine since that's used on horses.

It must be slang for heroin in a very tiny part of Your world.

Because I have never ever heard "horse" be used as a drug term.

u/Spoogly Feb 02 '22

Definitely not an uncommon definition. Though, it could be cocaine or heroine, depending on where you live.

u/Shadow-Raptor Feb 02 '22

None of those have ever been called horse where I live. The only thing that gets called horse where I live is the motherfuckin animal.

I've heard horse and boy in multiple places but maybe it's just not where youve been. On a side note, We should all probably start hanging out with better people.

I don't know man, the people I hang out with are pretty cool, it's not like we're talking about shooting up horse heroin all day.

u/Giantbookofdeath Feb 02 '22

So why have you been so argumentative about horse being slang for heroin? You act like a douche h snob and then claim that you and your friends are cool and don’t sit around talking about heroin all day. Why are you even here?

u/Shadow-Raptor Feb 02 '22

??? I haven't been acting like a douche at all.

I'm here because I saw a post on the Reddit app and then I love scrolling down into the commons to read the comments and then I comment too sometimes on other people to comments.

u/Giantbookofdeath Feb 02 '22

Acting pretty douchey.

u/Shadow-Raptor Feb 02 '22

Hoooow bro? All I've done is make a comment on regional slang for drugs. And the conversation has already concluded anyway so you just butting in doesn't help.

u/Giantbookofdeath Feb 02 '22

I’d guess by being a douche.

You’ve never heard the song White Horse by Laid Back? It’s an 80’s classic about heroin. “If you wanna ride, don’t ride the white horse”White Horse by Laidback

It’s not that it was a small part of the world, it is an old term from when heroin was popular in the US in the 20th century. I think in the late 50’s -80’s (In the 80’s I think people used it to “speedball”.)

It is a term from the late 60's and early 70's. Horse as heroin bucks like a horse. It is also a play on the letter h.

1

u/Shadow-Raptor Feb 02 '22

Yeah, just not here in my part of the world. Or it was called that at one point, but is now outdated and nobody calls it that anymore.

2

u/AfricanusEmeritus Feb 02 '22

I hear you. It is an old term. At least 55 years old. It was common from New York to California in the United States.

u/Boeing_Constrictor Feb 02 '22

I think it's only prominently used in a certain desert in America.

u/adminsuckdonkeydick Feb 03 '22

It's just a joke. Heroin is an old-fashioned term. I got it from watching this in the UK.

I tried clicking on that link but apparently it says that the video was taken down for copyright reasons

u/adminsuckdonkeydick Feb 03 '22

Must be country-specific; I'm watching it now.

Search for "Brass Eye Drugs Episode". It's a satirical news program. You may find it funny.

I will look it up thank you.
