found this on another forum. huge list of slang for drugs police are supposed to know, and some of it is fucking ridiculous.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/ ... -to-B.html
Favourites include:
GRAPE PARFAIT - LSD
THING - heroin
THING - cocaine
THING - crack
and theres some music genre descriptions in there which are completely baffled
HARDCORE - heavy beat house music often with screams instead of vocals

Lol, because normally when a policeman overhears someone trying to sell an "Atom Bomb" they would just ignore it.

I have a feeling whoever wrote this article was just throwing in words because he was bored at work. Either that or they got this out of a Drug Awareness pamphlet.

I worked with a dude when I was in the air force that got deployed to DC to listen to phone convos and translate for the DEA.
Said it was the most boring job ever. He had a binder similar to that list.
