Noun

2. The act of passing out onto the floor while being high out of one’
s mind, usually caused by being too high or sedated to find a bed/couch, or due to an overwhelming urge to rest physically.
3. A spontaneous or intentional

Origin:
Derived from the character Napstablook from Toby Fox’s
Undertale, whom is a ghost that is psychonaut coded and known for his iconic feat of “lying down and feeling like
garbage.” First known usage is
2021, where a poster within the r/
drugs discord posted “fuck it, I am pulling a napstablook now.” Before posting a selfie of themselves lying on the floor with highly constricted pupils inside the server’s opiates channel, sparking the meme and solidifying its place within the psychonaut lexicon. This word can also be used outside of the common psychonaut lexicon, but it is tied to the psychonaut community, for the most part.
Person A: Agh, fuck! Why does my head hurt so
bad?
Person B: Dude, you pulled a napstablook last
night while you were tripping on some DPH. Person A: It usually doesn’t hurt that much though…
Person B: You fell down while standing up, that’s why it hurt.
Person A: oh
shit…
