Santino Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 If anyone refers to it as "sheesh" i'm going have a conniption fit. This peeve comes from years of working at a smoke shop, and getting frequented by bros who walk in, and immediately ask "What's the best sheesh flavor bro?" And continually explaining that there is no best, and it's mostly personal preference, only to be interjected with "What's the best sheesh brand, bro?" Then attempting again to explain the whole personal preference thing, and finally interupted with "What's your favorite sheesh flavor, bro?" and finally just crumble down and say, "Fantasia AMF, bro." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] ^^good one bro^^. In all reality i think the use of certain terms will never change. If people want to take the time to learn what means what, then they will. Also thanks to Hassouni, I've learned a few interesting terms, increasing my hookah snob-ness.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, try to get this; If american's dress with their pants down to their ankles, then the rest of the world copies them. If you term things correctly then the rest of the world will do the same. I know this sounds like a responsibility, but that's just the way of the world is right now. I've even got my friends phoning me and asking if I've got any 'shisha' (flavour), I try to correct them, but they say that's what everyone calls it! I've tried, and now I'll quit it. I think this matter is beyond anyone to change, even hookah forum, I thank everyone for their input on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coyote Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 just as an FYI- Tangiers labels say "Hookah Tobacco" Also I am American and neither I nor any of my friend wear our pants down to our ankles. In fact most of the Urban styles now are borrowing from the 1970s English mod scene. I could just be stressed out and high on coffee but it seems like there is some anti-American angst here as noted by Sir Insidius. I mean I'm all for being a hip american trendsetter... impacting the world with my awesome 2nd hand full of holes faded dresses with worn through flipflops held together with stainless steel washers and my uber-American hipSter lingo but lets face facts... I am certainly not impacting the world in any way. I mean unless you want a physics lesson on smoking HOOKAH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insidius Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Wait, when did 'wearing your pants down to your ankles' become a bad thing? Isn't that what pants are? Or are we talking [i]English pants[/i]? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
