"A poem about Toby, the drug user (marijuana not mentioned)"


He had a bomber and a bit of crack
Then enjoyed a long daisy chain
Followed by cider and some brown sugar
That was enough to blow up his brain

Explanation:
Un cerc vicios (cu rază mare de acțiune)
The so called poem praises a long...chain of slang terms, which exist or could be added to the Urban Dictionary. The language is used by real people, so we have to understand it, as linguists, reading a more or less ofensive language...and trying to find equivalents more or less metaphorical, the same way the source text presents it...
Key word: METAPHORICAL...
For this reason I was looking at what our Italian colleagues were doing, they thought everything was only about DRUGS...so at the beginning were going for the "joint" term, a marijuana joint shared by multiple people in a group, a "spinello" in Italian....I posted there, everything disappeared, including those answers...and references...
In my very personal opinion, this poem is combining terms about drugs, sex and alcohol, so any specific term could be related to any of those....
I consider this "long daisy chain", as a source term, to be related only to sex, the only reasonably known slang, so my metaphor about a "vicious circle" means more people doing something in circle, including what I'm showing in my following references:



Explanation:
Definiție: "o schimbare de idei, în tăcere, pe cale orală între mai multe persoane, care întotdeauna se încheie cu cel/cea care a început discuția..."

[En] Definition: " A change of ideas, silently, orally, between multiple persons, which always ends with the point is started..."
Matematic:
[Mathematically equation:]

∑n(69)
n=1
[Sumă de la 1 la infinit de poziții 69 juxtapuse]
[A sum of 69's between 1 and infinity]

"O juxtapoziție de 69"
[A juxtaposition of 69s]

I hope that people unfamiliar with 69 position wouldn't be offended by my answer...

“daisy chainingsex
When large numbers of people engage in oral sex in alternating face up/face down positions forming a circular group of people. An individual engaged in daisy chaining will be giving oral sex to one person while receiving oral pleasure from a different person (at the same time). Probably referring to a ring of intertwined bosies having a similar shape and arrangement to a flower arrangement used as a tiara.”
