Got any Smurf?

Story location: Home / Blog / coventry /
23/Jan/2005

Earlier today, as I was walking home from Emma's, I was stopped by a bloke who asked 'Have you got any smurfs?'. Or at least, that's what it sounded like. I shook my head and said 'sorry, no' and carried on walking. I don't know if that's what he actually asked me or what on earth he meant...

Update (5/02/2005):
I've since come across a few references to smurf, but for a variety of things:

  • a Cigar dipped in embalming fluid
  • ecstacy (in blue tablet form)
  • Magic Mushrooms

Update to the Update (april 2007):
Taken from wikipedia:

The term "embalming fluid" is often used to refer to the liquid PCP which a cigarette or joint is dipped in (a "sherm"), to be ingested through smoking. Smoking PCP is known as "getting wet." There is much confusion over the practice of dipping cigarettes in "embalming fluid" leading some to think that real embalming fluid may actually be used. This is a misconception that may cause serious health consequences beyond those of consuming PCP.

I hadn't heard of that meaning of 'embalming fluid'. It suddenly makes more sense why someone would dip a cigar in it...
