An extremely esoteric nickname for
cocaine. In the original lyrics to the Cole Porter classic showtune "I Get a Kick Out of You", the second verse begins is "Some get a kick from
cocaine". As the years passed, that was changed to "Some like the
bop-type refrain" so kids could continue to put on "Anything Goes" as a high-school musical.
People aware of this, wanting to demonstrate their cultural refinement and speak about cocaine, all while avoiding eavesdroppers and self-incrimination, replace the technical name of their drug of choice with "
Bop-type Refrain" (or simply "
Bop-type", though the later option brings with it a tremendous risk of losing your audience.)
Chris: I'm
sick of referring to
cocaine as "yatch". It's gone too mainstream.
Kevin: How about "
Bop-type Refrain"?
Chris: What the - oh, I get it. I didn't know you were a devotee of musical theater.
Kevin: Eh, I know the Sinatra version.
