Happy 420? A High Holy DayFrom what I understand, today is a sort of holy day for the cannabis crowd.
"Four twenty" is a way to refer to cannabis, marijuana, weed, whatever. I think the terminology dates back to the seventies, when that was the designated time for kids to get together to smoke after school was out.
Anyway, there are celebrations galore, so, if you think you smell something this afternoon, you might not be wrong.
I say this not to judge ( I really don't care), but, just to remind you how I'm way cool (What? You never realized how fly I am?), hip to the scene, and, down with the lingo, but, if you have teens, it might be wise to be aware of this phrase in case you hear, or, read it somewhere.

Thanks Busymom. I can't believe you didn't know this one. There are even bumper stickers out there about "is it 4:20 yet?" Been around forever
I smoked many a cannabis plant, but I have never heard of it referred (no pun intended) to as four-twenty. Cool though.
Shocked and awed that I didn't know this.
I think you may be responsible for a lot of harshed buzzes today.
Whoa! Now I'm all hungry.
I always thought 420 was the police code for possesion, but upon googling it, it's not true, but I know it has been reffered to that way for many many many years.
Yes, this was one of the interesting things I learned while teaching high school. One stoner had to take my class several times (hmmm, there couldn't be a link there, could there be?) was quick to point out the date each year.
I never knew this either. Wow. I am so very uncool. Happy day, I guess.
All news to me. Although I'm sure my brother knows all about that stuff.

I had heard about this (way back when) but had forgotten about it. I will be eavesdropping on the kid today or, if he's not home (it IS Friday) maybe I'll give him a call on the old cell at around 4:19pm. I thank you--he doesn't.
Ahhh... I was wondering why I was feeling so relaxed today. Hey, by the way... I, uh...
Uh... um, never mind.
OH my. I had no idea. Where are the party favors?
Thanks for the 411, you hip, fly, cool mama.
There's a restaurant near me called the Four N' Twenty that is a mecca for the senior crowd.
Now I know why those old buggers always seem so happy.
Just a quick question on decorum... wafers or chips for this High Holy Day?
Somebody go get me some Pringles. I got the munchies. OK, OK, just kiddin'. No munchies here. Darn it.
That comment from "Himself" reminded me of conversations between my now-husband, then-boyfriend and his roommates. They were very, uh, 420 friendly. And they ate a LOT of Doritos.
You mean we were supposed to wait for school to get out?? Kidding! I'm only kidding. Sort of.
Here's my favorite date/time interesting tidbit and its coming up soon.
At three minutes and four seconds after 2 AM on the 6th of May this year,
the time and date will be 02:03:04 05/06/07. And it will never happen again.
All my pots are for cooking food in. I'll start dinner at 4:20, Dear.
