A white disposable lighter, generally Bic brand, that was either white at purchase or had the plastic wrapper removed.

Generally suspected of causing bad luck by superstitious morons who don't understand that they got in trouble because they smoked pot, not because they used a white lighter to smoke pot.
Stoner without any semblance of logic: "Dude, I hit a bowl with a white lighter and then I got pulled over."

Smart stoner: "Were you smoking while you were driving?"

white lighter myth

Share definition
A superstition among the stoner culture that smoking marijuana with a white lighter (especially a Bic) is bad luck. This superstition persists to the point that many smokers will refuse to smoke until a non-white lighter is found. A possible reason is that many smokers will cover the bowl while inhaling to slow the burn rate or use the end of the lighter to pack the bowl. These both leave telltale burn/ash marks which would be most apparent with a white lighter.
"The white lighter myth is totally true; I would never smoke a bowl with a white lighter"

A white lighter is a magical being in the show Charmed that aired from 1998 to 2006. A white-lighter is a guardian angel for witches and future white-lighters. They used to be special mortals who did great and brave things during life. Their job is to guide witches they are assigned to and protect them, also have them prepared for attacks. They also watch over people who will become white-lighters once their life is over, he has to ensure they die on their at their time or they won't become white-lighters. Most times their assigned witches who are still in infancy, the white-lighter will guard and protect the witch her or his entire life. However White-lighters are not supposed to reveal themselves as white-lighters unless their is urgent need, their witch is supposed to figure it out on her/his own. In the meantime the White-light pose as a friend, teacher, boss, service guy (like handy man, plumber) or if their witch is young and has lost their parents the white lighter may pose as their foster parent.
"Where has that white-lighter gone?"

"Are you my white-lighter?"

Then the white-lighter moved on to his next witch knowing he had done his job.

white-lighter

Share definition
a term describing a follower of a religion, philosophy, or spirituality that preaches things like denial of one's instincts and abstinence from worldly pleasures in order to attain some vaguely defined goal like "salvation" or "enlightenment"(e.g. Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and some, but not all, forms of Judaism).

The term is mostly used by Satanists or other (non)spiritualists who believe in indulgence of the flesh. It may be used as an outright insult, a smug dismissal, etc.
