PRONUNCIATION CORRECTION:
AWK-SEE-CON-TON
A legitimate opiate pain medication intended only to alleviate moderate to severe intractable pain under the supervision of a physician for documented conditions. It is dangerous and against the law not to mention better judgement and common sense to pursue any other use. To imply that oxycontin or any narcotic analgesic should be taken with alchohol or taken in crushed form is quite wrong, not to mention stupid and DEADLY. Oxycontin relieves severe nerve pain and other moderate to severe pain in those who REQUIRE IT, by slightly depressing the central nervous system- thus someone not initiated in opiate therapy (as in someone who is not prescribed this medicine or whom takes it against package instructions and doctors orders) is putting their lives at risk by getting 12 hours worth of medicine all at once, thus excessively depressing their central nervous systems and ceasing the breathing mechanism, slowing heart/pulse rate, DUH...Oxycontin is not intended as a 'high' for anyone, but as a PRESCRIBED, TAKEN AS DIRECTED pain relief medicine for those in pain PERIOD. In this capacity it can save lives. It is also a controlled substance under the law, because of the fools who believe it's intended for getting stoned. It's certainly hoped the erroneous definitions dissapear- any comparison to heroin is irrelevant(although heroin is also a pain medicine which was so widely abused in our society that it has been outlawed in this country, though it is still in use overseas today for legitimate purpose).

Jane was prescribed OXYCONTIN for deep visceral nerve pain following a botched back operation which left her in agonizing pain. OXYCONTIN has given Jane some quality of life back. Jane must keep her OXYCONTIN locked in a secret cabinet because of the idiots who wish to abuse it in order to get 'high'. Jane does not get high from her medication, she gets relief.

a Detroit original: the stripmall infested corporate diamond mines, geographically located just outside of the city boundaries, otherwise known as the SUBURBS. The first part of name describes the area's contributions to it's parental city's resources. The second part of the word is just ironic. Also the home of the WASTE-OID.
We drove through miles of wastelands on our journey to the city, stopping only once for a burger named mac and a biggie fry.

A Detroit original: any strip mall infested suburban community that sits directly outside of the city limits, but for some reason still considers itself part of the city, despite its obvious geographic, architectural, social, and cultural differences.
She lives in the wastelands to avoid paying city taxes, and drives in every weekend, doors locked, to go to the club.

A variation of "OH SNAP" typically used alongside spoilers either as an accompaniment or a response. Refers to the video of a man driving by a release party of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and screaming "Snape kills Dumbledore" at random passerby.
"So he was all, 'Snape kills Dumbledore, Spike dies, dyke spies, etc.' to me, and I was like, "OH SNAPE!'"
