tapering

A term that can be used when referring to reducing the dose, when using a drug.

Tapering can help an addict when trying to quit a drug. Splitting a pill, snorting less, and even injecting less.

Swim: Are you off them xans yet?
Swim 2: Nah, but I'm tapering my Xanax bar because I don't want to get seizures.

Taper

The cowardly way a guy goes about phasing out a girl by gradually responding to calls and texts less and less or by responding only with short answers. (can be done by girls too)

This guy was totally into me and was texting me all the time but now he's giving me the taper! He responded to my last text with just a one-word answer and I haven't heard from him in over a week.

tapers

Tools used for stretching ear lobes usually. Not an accessory, but many people do wear them as jewelry. It is not safe though because it can imbalance your ears, since the sides are different sizes. The gauge size is at the bigger end of the taper.

"Can I buy some tapers to stretch my ears?"

"She used tapers as jewelry and now her ears are uneven."

"Dude! Those tapers are for stretching, not wearing!"
