Street Names

Marielle Genovesi – Culture Editor

 

Illegal drugs have slang terms and, just like general lingo, the terms vary not only according to areas of the country, but internationally. Because people aren’t the only things that get nick-names; and who wants to refer to anything by its actual name anyway, especially when trying to be discrete?
