The word "stinkies"

[Southern Tina]

Just bugs me. It sounds like a toddler talking about #2. There has to be a better word for cigarettes. I mean, I guess it's impossible to use the actual word, but there has to be something better than stinkies. Or analogs.

Anyone?

Stinkilogs? Anastinks?

Hey Tina! I came up with "stinkarettes" a while back when someone else was complaining about "stinkies." Of course there's always the old faithful "cancer sticks," or as I usually called them, "coffin nails." As in (back when I used them!), "time to go pound another nail in my coffin." Really hoping I managed to quit before that box got built...

Logs

Short for analogs

Logs burn, like little sticks.

 

[Kuljit]

stankys. stankies. stanks.

My vote is for stanks.

as in, "omg! i can't believe it's been a year since i've had a boopsie whoopsie!"

You just like it cause it's close to skanks but you can type it often.

I don't see anything wrong with the word cigarettes, after all that is the correct name.

Or even cigs. That's fine too.

I refer to "those" as cigs or smokes. I also don't like the word "stinkies" for much the same reason as you, Tina. Sounds like a bunch of pre-schoolers thinking they are having silly fun saying a bad word. And analogs is too long to type and just doesn't really seem like it makes sense to me in this context, although I guess it was first used in the "olden days" of this forum, so is now part of the culture here.

Call them "death" because that is what it causes.

I like the term, "butts". (After all, they are just azzzzzzz anyway.)
I used the term for cigarettes all the time, as in, "Dammit. I left my butts at the bar last night."

I am with you Tina from Jacksonville....

The term brings back memories of my mother helping with the training of our kids. There is just nothing "endearing" about a two-year old dropping a stinky. (Or a 42 year old for that matter).

I had the same thought; actually, e-cigs are "analogs" of cigarettes -- analogous.

Could be worse. In Ireland they call'em fags. Been visiting with my wife's family over there every year for the past 20 and still can't get used to it.

any term with a death connotation should be appropriate.

 

[db13berry]

Im with you about "analog". I cringe when I read it. I dont mind "stinkies" though.
