Durts

When I was 18 I liked to party a lot, which lead to drinking, which led to making up weird words. One that I still use is “durts.” It means cigarettes. My friend and I came up with it because tobacco looks kind of like dirt. I turned a bunch of people on to saying it; I don’t know if they get why we call them “durts.” They get the idea of what it means when I say, “Let’s go smoke some durts,” and they see a pack of cigarettes in my hand.
