Drug slang?

[edit]

Also apparently drug slang for pentobarbital sodium, possibly in capsule form. Listed in various dictionaries but hard to find in written usage. Equinox 13:58, 11 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

One possible use: "He stated he had taken some "yellow jacket" pills and had smoked a marijuana cigarette." – Einstein2 (talk) 14:32, 28 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Wasp

[edit]

It appears to me that Americans hardly ever use the word "wasp". From my experience they actually call them "bees" a lot of the time. But even those who follow a more proper terminology say "yellow jackets" instead of "wasps". Am I right? And if so, why is that? 92.218.236.20 16:18, 14 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
