@Mnemosientje, Rua, Lambiam, DrJos, Morgengave I'm also familiar with a sense "prolific consumer of pills", though I cannot find that in dictionaries or durable sources at the moment. Are you familiar with that meaning? ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 16:03, 19 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

I don't know it, but it doesn't seem surprising. —Rua (mew) 17:14, 19 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hadn't heard it, but it describes some students I know pretty well. Probably just refers to female users though, as doos is used only for women. Found a cite (1), but I'm not sure there are more, on GB at least. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 17:38, 19 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
I am not familiar with this use. In this tweet the term refers to a male person.  --Lambiam 20:01, 19 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
It is apparently also used in the Suske & Wiske series for the archvillain "Krimson". ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 14:09, 21 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
