nodding off

A term used to describe the high of heroin.. it is often mistaken as being very tired (which works out well for the user!), but it is more like "nodding" in and out of semi-consciousness. That's really the best way to describe it. It's like a series of times where the user will fall asleep for 30 seconds - a few minutes out of nowhere, and then suddenly snap into wakefulness again. They often are in very uncomfortable positions, too. (because they were not really planning or expecting to be sleeping!)..the term can also sometimes be heard with opiate-based pills, but generally it is specific for being high on heroin.
After shooting alot of H, i could see by the uncomfortable way he was sitting-with his head hanging all limp towards the ground- that he must be nodding off!

"Yesterday we did a few bags and after a few minutes, we were all nodding off."

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
