black dookie

Resinous dross scrapings from a cannabis pipe sometimes used to get high by people who are really hard up. Sometimes 'black dookie" is sold as hashish to gullible customers.

"Hey, man, I got this 'black dookie.' $5 a gram, man; it'll get you fucked up."

Birthday Cake

In insider jargon among fireworks professionals a "birthday cake" or more briefly just a "cake" is a firework technically referred to as a "multi-shot tube device." These are fireworks that consist of multiple, usually small mortar tubes bundled together designed to fire a series of low-level aerial effects. The effects might be stars, comets, whistles, salutes, etc.

"Let's set those birthday cakes up over on the left of the firing line."
