ash wednesday

Catholic Holy Day observed 40 days prior to Good Friday, where believers walk around with dirt X on their forehead in order to flaunt their holiness.

Normal Guy: Dude, you have some dirt on your face
Jesus-Freak: Really? I wasn't aware. It must be my pure righteousness made manifest, seeping through my earthly pores. Bow to me!

When you're smoking a nice bowl and, upon inhalation, instead of getting a full, rich mouthful of flavorful smoke, you suck the burning cherry into the back of your throat. Ash Wednesday!!

Dude 1: *inhale* OW!! F*CK!! SHIT!! *cough* GODDAMN IT!! *cough*
Dude 2: Dude, what happened?
Dude 1: Ash Wednesday!!
