Dome
The word dome (verb) in it's original context was used to describe the act of smoking a joint entirely to oneself, or "taking it all to one's head", hence the word dome.
In recent years, the word "dome" has evolved with broader implications. Although the verb maintains it's intrinsic quality of consuming something as a whole, it has expanded from marijuana cigarettes to almost anything (especially food). For instance, one would not "dome half of a herring". That simply would not make sense. One must consume the whole thing.
It's important to realize that the word "dome" does not simply mean consume, but is rather a specific style of consuming something. Newcomers to the term sometimes don't realize this and the confusion can lead to gross misuse.
