This is pedantic but it annoys me every time I hear someone say it, let alone see it in writing: amphetamine can be plural; methamphetamine never is. Meth is an amphetamine, technically a substituted amphetamine, one of several such amphetamines.

[–] TheGalacticVoid@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

Would you like the Large MethDouble combo or just the meth?

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

You are articulating more like a shroom user

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

Okay but you're probably going to want more.

You some kinda narc?

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No no, you misunderstand. I am trying get some narcotic. As one does.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's what a narc would say! Pinky promise you ain't a cop so I know you're good?!?!?

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

If I was a cop I would have to ~~shoot~~ tell you. I promise, we good. Now, are you going to sell said illicit drug for money?

Sorry, what's the action you want corrected?

I don't want to look like a idiot if I ever buy no no drugs.

Please trust me when I say that buying meth, if you never have, is dumber than anything I was talking about.

That said, the fine folk distributing meth aren't exactly the shiniest crystals in the batch.

Goddammit I've been buying meth wrong all these years!
