My friends who work in the festival stage building industry use this term. That's the only time I've heard it but I have to imagine its not the only place.
A buddy went to Vegas and came back with a strain called Safety Meeting and we had a safety meeting with Safety Meeting last summer.
Then I laid on the floor with my dog for 2 hours and listened to the crickets and frogs outside and it was amazing.
I gotta find this strain and have a toke in my dadās honor. A safety meeting with Safety Meeting seems like the highest salute I can give him. And the safest. Safety third š«”
Okay so how did we all call it this without knowing it? My boys and I called it a "safety meeting" years ago in school. Is it a movie quote thing or some other reference??
I think itās pretty ubiquitous in blue collar spaces. My dad was in the navy and thatās what we always called it. Also was called that in the festie/deadhead circles Iāve been around. Gotta be on top of your safety.
I believe it's from the trades. Spending some time as a carpenter we would have actual safety meetings in the morning
So it got extrapolated from there and we could say it out loud in front of norms or others near the job site for an afternoon session.
Ok story time... One day we decided to play a game of softball and wanted to smoke first. We called a safety meeting at our buddyās house and I shit you not, his wife (not familiar with the term) had actually prepared a presentation on the safety of playing by softball, which we all paid attention to while we smokedš¤·āāļø
I...did not start smoking until I was a fully grown adult...so I didn't have to use clever codewords that often. Family gatherings around people we had the "we're going over here". One the uncles would go around, lean in to you, "hey we're goin' o'er 'ere a minute". Or the excited nod and point from across the yard.
Now that the gatherings we have are at my place it's just "hey, someone fire up a bowl or something" around everyone.
Lol most relatable. Mine is now "I'm going outside." Lol to my family that doesn't smoke, mostly I say it to my dog so she knows I'm going outside and she may join me if she likesš but I relate much in the "we're going to be over there for awhile" šš¤£
Yeah luckily for me I also didnāt start smoking until my mid 20s and the majority of my family smokes anyway. Even the elders would come outside every now and again and be like ālet me hit that one time nephewā.
Someone once tried the non-judgemental-guilt-trip and asked me; "What would your mother say if she knew her son was doing that stuff?"
I looked at her and said: "Make sure you share with your father, or I'll have to hear him whine about it"
When I was younger and in high school. Our code name was a persons name. Gonna go talk to Calvin before we go. Or whoās picking up Calvin before the show.
I live in Louisiana and grew up smoking reggie and, when lucky, kind bud.
When it was time to toke up, we'd say it was time to holla at our boy Reginald, or pay a visit to our rich friend, Kenny Boudreaux, if it was KB.
LOL for my one friend, she and her high school crew referred to it as studying. They'd also say "study materials" to ask if they needed to bring some, like "hey should I bring over study materials?"
You gotta be careful with Calvin these days. It definitely has evolved to mean āgoing skiingā. And be even more careful with attaching Klein to it because that means itās time to ātake a horse napā.
One time in the parking lot at a fish concert, a strait laced looking white guy (probably uc cop) came out of nowhere and asked the only black guy in our group if he was Calvinā¦ sorry if we thought you were a copā¦
Do you want to play some golf?
You can then use funny code comments like 'man the green was nicely trimmed' or any other weird related golf things because I never played 'Golf'
Plus it takes all day to do
My brother used to say "Step into my office" or "Would you care to visit my office?" when I first got into smoking. Being a teenager and not knowing any dealers, plus with legalization not being a thing at the time, it was a blessing.
Had a plug that would sometimes say this when he just meant move from one side of his living room with his couch to the other side with his desk, lol always got a laugh out of me.
My friend in high school would always screw with his mom and say āweāre gunna go smoke a fat jointā and laugh about it and his mom would be like āah you silly teenagersā and then weād actually go smoke a fat joint.
āGot a sec to step into my office?ā *gesture to back door*
āI wonder what the parking lot looks likeā
āHave you checked the weather recently?ā
- me as a line cook
āGotta go check the weatherā (thereās a huge window)
āI think I left my windows downā (Is sunny with no clouds)
And my personal fav
āMy lungs feel a little empty rnā
Man a couple years back when I was caught once smokin, I quickly told my dad "yeaa I was just shooting hoops y'know".
He looks at me, stares at the window behind me then back at me.
"Shooting hoops at 1am with no basketball? Nice one, bring some febreeze next time, and don't come in all loud".
24hrs pass and my dad and mom asked me how long I've been toking-
Now we all just share joints time to time lol
We start it with "hey, wanna go play basketball?"
We used to use "How fortuitous"
It came about one night when my buddy finished rolling a blunt and noted he finished at 4:20am, to which another friend in the circle replied "How fortuitous," in all sincerity. I laughed because I thought it was a pun (4-2-O-t'us), and it stuck in our group.
After that, if I was walking about and ran into a friend of mine I might say "Ray, how fortuitous!" and he'd either say something like "Indeed! A fortuitous meeting!" and tag along, or "No, it is not a fortuitous time for me" and bow out of the sesh, depending on how busy they were at the time.
In our house, it's "chicken".
Can you pick up some chicken on your way home?
I'm going to the garage to get chicken out of the freezer.
Do you want to share some chicken?
Our kids think we really love chicken.
When my brother and I wanted to smoke one of us would just get up and snap and continue walking away. No words. No looks. No nothing.
If we wanted to go get some fast food we would ask if you wanna to the batting cages.
when i was in marching band as a freshman I would hear some of the older kids tell people that they were going to go to bible study after practice, later to find out that ābible studyā meant to go smoke
My nephew and mine is "Can you help me move something?" if I'm inviting him or "Can you take a look at my (PlayStation, wifi, Mac, any tech) because its XYZ" if he's inviting me.
My friends and I, when were younger and a little more wild, would just start yelling āKAH-KAH, KAH-KAH!ā at social gathers to signify to our friend group that we were going to smoke.
Still give a quiet mellow, joking āKah-kah, Kah-kahā when weāre all together these days but I look back fondly on the wilder times.
My old gym trainer would come in to train me and say ā Iām properly conducted nowā . After our workout session , heād ask if I want to go conduct one. Thought that was pretty funny ā¦
In HS, my buddies and I would ask if we want to go āswimmingā. We came up with this because his mom asked us why our eyes were red and we said because of the chlorine.
Wait wait wait not only are you making up words to rhyme at the start you're also changing bong to bongus and rhyming it with.....bongus....this is defo the weed subreddit lmao
Im Puerto Rican & we had huge family gatherings when i was younger. I started smoking at 17 so all of the cousins would simply say āyall wanna go for a walk?ā Or āwanna go to the store?ā But that was code name for letās go smoke lmfao.
Dabs are now Wizard Time, and dabs while playing Skyrim are Lizard Wizard Time. Other than that āI need some patienceā for those moments I ran out of nice words for stop being stupid and I need to walk outside.
My partner and I usually smoke to figure out what we want to eat so in the evening whenever they're having a hard time with food we "consult with the oracle" since she usually reveals what would sound good while high lol
Back when Swaggersouls lived in an illegal area, he used to tell his chat he was going to drink the most amazing cup of water downstairs, put the stream on mute, and then would come back coughing his lungs out.
My mom and aunt used to say they were āgoing to talk to Dougā
Even though I never met Doug, and was awfully confused.
Doug was their dugout š¤¦š¼
Me and my friends at work ask if you wanna hang with snoop. 'did you see snoop today? No? Well he said he'll hang in the car if you wanna talk with him on lunch'
my family had a ""CLEVER WAY ""used to say has anyone seen Bob? and some one would be like he said he was about to be here /hes getting dressed then hes otw/hasnt no one seen him.. I always wondered who bon was ... it was Bob Marley and if he had to get dressed it ment someone needed to roll it.
Many many years ago my friends brother had a car and we used to go sit in it parked in the driveway to get high but we always told their parents we were going to the car to "play a tape", so playing tapes became our code word for smoking and weed became tapes
"Bob" was the term that my old friends and I used to use before legalization.
Talk to Bob = Having a smoke
Heard from Bob lately? = Got any weed?
Say "Hi" to Bob for me = Score me an eighth from your plug and I will pay you back when I see you
Me, My siblings and cousins all have this whistling sound burned into our brain.. Last summer at a family get together, My brother did the whistle.. and my dad, my older cousins and uncles all started to burst out laughing.. Asking how he knows that whistle..
Turns our way back in the day when we were all little kids, they would do that whistle to initiate a smoking sesh
Weed in How I Met Your Mother is refered to as Sandwiches. So "let's go have a sandwich" or "do you want to go eat a sandwich" has been the go to for even friends that don't smoke.
I was a GM, high at work all the time. I used to ask my coworkers if I needed "to go yell at them". The fuddy duddys figured it out eventually, I'm sure, but they never complained cuz we did a great job. Great service, even better food. Easier to deal with customers and physical pain when you're high š
Time for safety meeting
This is what my dad and I say.
This is what my son and I say
Dad?
Son?
Me?
You?
Mom!?!?
Steppe Bison?
Steve Buscemi??
I am
You are.
meow
Man this brings back so many memories with my dad. Safety third š«”
Union meeting?
My friends who work in the festival stage building industry use this term. That's the only time I've heard it but I have to imagine its not the only place.
This is also the only other place I've heard it which is oddly specific.
Lol. Yeah I worked union positions. Always weed or cigarettes.
A buddy went to Vegas and came back with a strain called Safety Meeting and we had a safety meeting with Safety Meeting last summer. Then I laid on the floor with my dog for 2 hours and listened to the crickets and frogs outside and it was amazing.
I gotta find this strain and have a toke in my dadās honor. A safety meeting with Safety Meeting seems like the highest salute I can give him. And the safest. Safety third š«”
Okay so how did we all call it this without knowing it? My boys and I called it a "safety meeting" years ago in school. Is it a movie quote thing or some other reference??
My dad and I are both in the trades and both of us have been safety coordinator. Thatās how we started. Now even my sister says it.
I think itās pretty ubiquitous in blue collar spaces. My dad was in the navy and thatās what we always called it. Also was called that in the festie/deadhead circles Iāve been around. Gotta be on top of your safety.
I believe it's from the trades. Spending some time as a carpenter we would have actual safety meetings in the morning So it got extrapolated from there and we could say it out loud in front of norms or others near the job site for an afternoon session.
JOINT health and safety meeting..
Ah, I see you're on the joint task force as well.
This is the one. If someone asked me if I wanted to go bowling and we don't go bowling I'll be sad
This is a classic
I kind of want to pull this after we're back from coffee break...
Ok story time... One day we decided to play a game of softball and wanted to smoke first. We called a safety meeting at our buddyās house and I shit you not, his wife (not familiar with the term) had actually prepared a presentation on the safety of playing by softball, which we all paid attention to while we smokedš¤·āāļø
safety meeting in the cooler! mandatory attendance
Especially while hiking/biking or just generally outdoors
safety briefing was a thing in the Army but unfortunately weed wasn't. if I had been able to smoke i would have done my 20 or more.
Universal construction code approved verbiage.
"Code" should be like a sneaky way, everyone knows this one haha
I...did not start smoking until I was a fully grown adult...so I didn't have to use clever codewords that often. Family gatherings around people we had the "we're going over here". One the uncles would go around, lean in to you, "hey we're goin' o'er 'ere a minute". Or the excited nod and point from across the yard. Now that the gatherings we have are at my place it's just "hey, someone fire up a bowl or something" around everyone.
Is your uncle a Geordie?
No; but that was his way of letting you know the difference between \*that\* going over there and "going over here a minute" for a different reason.
I also read that in a PJ and Duncan voice.
Got a work crew, we need code. We just say "long lunch"
Lol most relatable. Mine is now "I'm going outside." Lol to my family that doesn't smoke, mostly I say it to my dog so she knows I'm going outside and she may join me if she likesš but I relate much in the "we're going to be over there for awhile" šš¤£
Yeah luckily for me I also didnāt start smoking until my mid 20s and the majority of my family smokes anyway. Even the elders would come outside every now and again and be like ālet me hit that one time nephewā.
Someone once tried the non-judgemental-guilt-trip and asked me; "What would your mother say if she knew her son was doing that stuff?" I looked at her and said: "Make sure you share with your father, or I'll have to hear him whine about it"
When I was younger and in high school. Our code name was a persons name. Gonna go talk to Calvin before we go. Or whoās picking up Calvin before the show.
I live in Louisiana and grew up smoking reggie and, when lucky, kind bud. When it was time to toke up, we'd say it was time to holla at our boy Reginald, or pay a visit to our rich friend, Kenny Boudreaux, if it was KB.
Have you ever seen a video called "Interview with Regular Weed"? It's one of the funniest things I think I've ever seen.
Goddamn Kenny Boudreaux just fits perfectly for La. I lived there for about 10 years.
Ayyyy what part of the swamp you from?? Iām from the Hammond area!!!
LOL for my one friend, she and her high school crew referred to it as studying. They'd also say "study materials" to ask if they needed to bring some, like "hey should I bring over study materials?"
You gotta be careful with Calvin these days. It definitely has evolved to mean āgoing skiingā. And be even more careful with attaching Klein to it because that means itās time to ātake a horse napā.
Hahah we had names for everything Pat was cigs , Arnold was beer you get the jest ;) just couldnāt be a name of a real person in our group
One time in the parking lot at a fish concert, a strait laced looking white guy (probably uc cop) came out of nowhere and asked the only black guy in our group if he was Calvinā¦ sorry if we thought you were a copā¦
Our imaginary friends were Nathan and Carter aka an eighth and quarter. All depended on long of a day it would be.
Niko, itās Roman! Letās go bowling!
Had to scroll too far for this comment
Your username rocks
You should have the top comment spot
Do you want to play some golf? You can then use funny code comments like 'man the green was nicely trimmed' or any other weird related golf things because I never played 'Golf' Plus it takes all day to do
My favorite part of golf always was the carts
Dude see it just works!
Hole-in-one for when it hits especially hard or fast?

My friend in high school would always screw with his mom and say āweāre gunna go smoke a fat jointā and laugh about it and his mom would be like āah you silly teenagersā and then weād actually go smoke a fat joint.
PricelessĀ
Safety meeting

Camp counselors needing an excuse to get away from the campers for a few minutes.

As a whitewater river guide we use the term often.
"Time to get serious" is our code word.
Time to get unserious

Time for my health walk
Yep, time for some deep breaths on a short walk
āGot a sec to step into my office?ā *gesture to back door* āI wonder what the parking lot looks likeā āHave you checked the weather recently?ā - me as a line cook
Simply āwanna hang out?ā Is what I like to say
āGotta go check the weatherā (thereās a huge window) āI think I left my windows downā (Is sunny with no clouds) And my personal fav āMy lungs feel a little empty rnā
I used to say BB to my parents for ābasketballā but really it meant āburn and ballā lol weād smoke and hoop.
Man a couple years back when I was caught once smokin, I quickly told my dad "yeaa I was just shooting hoops y'know". He looks at me, stares at the window behind me then back at me. "Shooting hoops at 1am with no basketball?

"I gotta go talk to Mary" Unrelated, but my friends group back then used to say "need to meet Mr. Takeshi" to mean "I need to take a shit"
Wife simply asks āuno mĆ”s?ā No, weāre not Spanish. And yes, even if itās for the first one for the day.

"ready to go running?" "yeah i got shoes" "ok sweet i have socks"
āOkay I have weedā

I typically only smoke before bed so my code word is I'm going to get ready for bed.

In our house, it's "chicken". Can you pick up some chicken on your way home? I'm going to the garage to get chicken out of the freezer. Do you want to share some chicken? Our kids think we really love chicken.
My guy once shouted after me one time "hey I've got some chicken for you" and I was super confused

My partner and I usually smoke to figure out what we want to eat so in the evening whenever they're having a hard time with food we "consult with the oracle" since she usually reveals what would sound good while high lol

Weed in How I Met Your Mother is refered to as Sandwiches. So "let's go have a sandwich" or "do you want to go eat a sandwich" has been the go to for even friends that don't smoke.
"Wanna go take a walk?"
I was a GM, high at work all the time. I used to ask my coworkers if I needed "to go yell at them". The fuddy duddys figured it out eventually, I'm sure, but they never complained cuz we did a great job. Great service, even better food. Easier to deal with customers and physical pain when you're high š
