Narcoliteracy

A cognitive impairment in which you randomly fall asleep while reading any type of literature. The period in which the subject sleeps is roughly around 15 to 30 minuets. It will kick in while reading any type of novel, newspaper, or short story. It will also occur during tests/reading exams. Less than 1%of all humans have been diagnosed with this impairment and there are no known cures. It is highly suggested that people with narcolituracy should only read in uncomfortable positions or stick with books with more pictures than words for this raises chances of staying awake.

Jimmy flunked his final reading exam because his damn narcoliteracy kept acting up.

Narcotics Dial

A step up from drunk dialing ... a narcotics dial is when you've just been released from the hospital and are experiencing excruciating pain and nausea despite the (Percocet, Delaudin, other narcotic) you received, and dial your ex while you're out of your mind and leave an incomprehensible, nonsensical message or worse yet, you actually speak to him or her and have no idea what you actually said.

After I was released from the hospital for kidney stones, in a Delaudin haze, I actually thought it would be comforting to talk to my ex, so I Narcotics Dialed him and left a rambling message. I'm not surprised that he didn't call me back.

narcocorridos

Literally translated it means "drug ballad", though not all narcocorridos are about drugs. Corridos have long described the poor and destitute, bandits and other criminals, as well as illegal immigrants to the United States, but the focus is on drug smugglers.
Narcocorridos often refer to particular people, events, and specific dates that tell a story. The groups that have become famous for "narcocorridos" include Los Alegres de Teran, Los Tigres del Norte, Rosalino "Chalino" Sanchez, Los Huracanes del Norte, Los Inquietos Del Norte, Los Morros Del Norte, Los Tucanes de Tijuana, Los Amos De Nuevo Leon, Los Cuates De Sinaloa, El Potro de Sinaloa, Los Originales de San Juan, Grupo Exterminador, Tigrillo Palma, Beto Quintanilla, Los Gatos de Sinaloa, Los Canelos de Durango, and Los Razos de Sacramento y Reynaldo.

Examples of some narcocorridos would be:

"El Contrabando del Paso." by Los Alegres de Teran.

"Contrabando y Traicion", "Los Tres Gallos", "La Camioneta Gris", and "La Mafia Muere." by Los Tigres del Norte.
