What’s your 20?

Do you ever remember the old cop shows when they’re on the radio and the dispatcher says ‘what’s your twenty’? Meaning, what’s your location? I used to date a cop so was used to hearing that all the time.

Well, I learned a new phrase today. 420 friendly. I’d never heard this one before but was reading the Craig’s List personals and saw this expression, with a description about getting together, hooking up and having a smoke. OK, I wasn’t born yesterday, so figure 420 must be like the police code for busting someone with pot.

I was wrong, but in the right neighborhood. Thanks to Google, 420 friendly is for people who are into smoking pot, or don’t mind if people get high. Well I guess you might as well get it out of the way, no point of wasting any time. They could say ‘cheech seeking chong’ and it would probably mean the same thing.

The interesting thing is, what if someone was advertising for a little NSA 420 hook up and an undercover cop showed up? I suppose they couldn’t bust you for the sex part, but for they could for possession.

You know, I just learn something new every day, it never ceases to amazes me what people come up with.
