Thread: Наркоман

Как по-английски - "наркоман"? Addict Drugs? А если их много - то addicts drugs? Есть какое-нибудь сленговое слово? Narkoman - так говорят?

ну, это же хорошо! А что, служба уже закончена? Рассказы есть?

Confirmation:

Slang:
a junkie, sometimes junky or junkee, a pothead, a crackhead, a cokehead(singular), and junkies, potheads, crackheads, cokeheads (plural)
Formal:
Drug addict (singular) and drug addicts (plural)

I'd like to add that those "slang" terms are pretty rude, while "drug addicts" is the normal word. If you want to be really formal, say "substance abusers."

They're really not so much rude as informal. There's a difference.

Would you be offended if I called you a crackhead?

No, of course not, you pot-toking slag! Obviously it's not flattering, but there is a difference between unappealing and offensive/vulgar/rude. It's not at all like calling someone a f*g, a motherf*cker, a c*nt, a pr*ck, etc.

Thank you for your support, you crackwhore! Убей сибя апкракпипчике Why doesn't my dictionary have the term for "crackpipe?"

The most common slang word for drug addict that I know of is simply "druggy".

Yep... "druggy" is good slang for me! It works!

Maybe because your dictionary is 20 years old... or Webster's Abridged, мой друг?

Stick it in your pipe and smoke it y'all

I wasn't trying to compare their rudeness to motherf*cker or anything like that. They aren't vulgar, but at least they're offensive.

"Hi, Dr. Morrison... I'm here for the drug rehabilitation program."
(nods understandingly) "I see, James...when did you become a crackhead?"
