Neat. We always called really small one hitters splifs.

Did you ever make a tube full of dryer sheets to blow smoke through to eliminate the smell? What did you call those? We called them smurfers.

I like regional slang a lot.



I always heard those called “sploofs”. Also, exhaling through dryer sheets and filling a room with that fragrance is a pretty horrific idea. It also doesn’t really work… parents or whoever would come in and be uh, why does the room smell like a ton of dryer sheets?

Those were a staple of the college dorm but didn't have a name for it until now!
