Urban Dictionary has helped me with so many words over the years.
now that Wiktionary has the definition of hot carl, urban dictionary is redundant 🙈
Possibly misapplied from hot carl “a cheap red wine enema, usually involving Carlo Rossi Merlot”.

Maybe you’ve heard of boofing? There’s a supreme court justice who I hear was a big fan in college…
If street knowledge is a must, you can suck on Deez Nuts

Unfortunately that’d probably kill it ded; like I said, people are really loath to pay for online services.
