A callus or blister or indentation formed from using a Bic lighter too frequently. Caused by pushing down on the spark wheel, or the heat from the actual flame heating the metal or bad handling of a lighter.
This is where drug dealers take the cheap, plastic Bic lighters and take them apart. Wash them out and rig them to put crack and coke in them. They would fill them up and sell them individually like you would do in baggies, only when you're holding a lighter it looks less suspicious than holding a bag or vile. They would just pass them off, hand to hand or someone would ask to borrow a lighter. Hence 25 lighters means someone's got 25 viles to sell, hence the "Got's to get paid" part.
John: Man, that my jam. DJ DMD, Fat Pat and Lil Keke all went hard on "25 lighters". That shit is a dirty south classic!
Xav: Damn right shawty, "25 lighters on my dresser, yes sir, I got to get paid".
a kenning (a compound expression in poetry with metaphorical meaning) for a 'matrix on attack mode'; when ploddle's lighter glitches and clones itself it means the matrix is on attack mode, lighters are probably the glitchiest item in the matrix when it's on attack mode, second only to keys.
Andrew Tate: I'm getting ploddle's blue lighters, the matrix has attacked me
Na'vi: Oel ngati kameie xhittay fglattu (I see you are full of shit)
Being from H-town and steeped in the culture the prior definition is logistically taxing and inaccurate. . You can’t open a lighter and put anything in them. That’s time consuming and a waste of a lighter. The reason you would have 25 lighters on your dresser is if you sell then you know people go all night. Sometimes the only thing that would stop them is running their lighters down to nothin. Hence. A smart dealer buys lighters in bulk to keep the smokers going til the money runs out. Not the butane.
