But it's not a joint, it's my pax2, that's what I feel when I use it and why I don't like it... 

[user]

For me one of the tricks to enjoy my vaporizer was to breathe in (gently) rather than taking hits like I would off a joint or cigarette. Perhaps you're already doing this but for me it took some getting used to but once I got the hang of it I didn't want to go back to smoking weed.

dissolve your hash in some liquor over night, mix it with some milk or cream next morning and heat it up gently (don't cook it). then add it to your coffee

[cruising for burgers]

it's weed

[dingformung]

yes

toke hard.

Wow I missed a lot of replies between what I was actually responding to and here.

But still, toke hard.  Just in general.

PS I don't even toke soft.

But even if I did, I wouldn't, because I'd toke hard.

but isn't this thread about making up new words? how about to hardtoke? l hardtoked the joint hard

 

[Zephyr_Nova]

Yeah, that works for me.

Making a concentrated effort to stay awake despite feeling physically and mentally exhausted - to overwake oneself.  I am overwaking after a long weekend of next to no sleep so that I may still go to bed at a reasonable hour and wake up fresh tomorrow.  I overwoke yesterday and am too tired to hardtoke today.

A charming young student of Grük
Once tried to acquire Volapük
But it sounded so bad
That her friends called her mad,
And she quit it in less than a wük.

Impressified - when you're both impressed and terrified at the same time...

Two Japanese words/concepts that don't have a direct English translation:

1. tatemae - stated reason

2. honne - actual intention

This is supposedly a core principle in most business negotiations.

Covered that one already:

I was going to add a word for that thing where you enter a room to retrieve/do something, but upon entering the room completely forget what that thing was.  This is a daily occurrence for me and a lot of people I'm sure.  But I looked it up, and apparently it's referred to as both "location updating effect" and "doorway effect", both extremely awkward phrases for it imo.  Someone suggested "destinesia" which I think is far more elegant.

Dammit

Destinesia is way better too

Also has it been said, that English lacks a word, which exists in many languages, which is a word to say "yes" in contradiction to a negative statement? This has always been a cause of confusion among English speakers, for example: "You didn't go to the movies did you?" How do you contradict that and say "On the contrary, I did go to the movies!" I know in French the word is "si." I nominate any of the following for English: "Yee", "Yo", "Yay", "Yot", "Yop", or "Yeet".

[Zephyr_Nova]

"Yee" gets my vote.

In Norwegian/Danish/Swedish the word would be Jo, so if you pick that it would make things easier for all the Scandinavians.
