A term used to describe the appearance, conduct, & mental state of one who'
s very high on a stimulant (e.g., methamphetamine). It
may also be used to describe one who's withdrawing from a drug.
One who's ickabooing is in an altered mental state resembling mild to severe psychosis &
may exhibit paranoia; they can be animated, complacent, hyperreactive, withdrawn, & difficult to understand (i.e., ramble or mumble). They can misjudge or mishandle situations & discuss things that are not considered normal.
They can also exhibit abnormal or exaggerated body movements e.g., picking at their
skin, twitching their
facial muscles, moving their extremities in a restless fashion, touching themselves in an abnormal way or inappropriate location, looking around & swiveling their
head in a pronounced fashion, etc. A person who is ickabooing
may also be diaphoretic (sweaty) because they feel hot; they
may have an oily or unclean appearance; they
may have wounded, red, or irritated
skin from picking at themselves; lastly, they
may have an unwell or unkempt appearance due to intoxication, euphoria, delirium, or withdrawal symptoms.
Ickabooing is NOT a derogatory term; it's a slang term to describe a state or condition. Ickabooing is a result of drug abuse & addiction;
harsh treatment or rushed judgements of people suffering from addiction does not
help heal the damage drug abuse can cause. An environment of empathy, care, & healing is the only way to promote wellness.
That guy is so high on clear, he's ickabooing bad. He needs to chill out,
stop squirming all over the place, and
stop saying weird shit; I
don't even know what he's talking about!
