Fizzy pop 'n' chop

The drug has been known as;

• Fizzy Pop n' Chop
• Pink Champaign
• Shake n' Vac
• Fleetwood Mac (when blown into the anus)
• Sheepskins (rhyming slang - sheepskin rugs - drugs )
• Woosh (allowed if you're gay, as is "Disco Glitter")
• Boutros Boutros Ghali (I haven't a clue why...)
• Coco (popular in that alleyway behind Soho House)
• Terry Farley (if you're an ancient raver, possibly cos it rhymes with...)
• Charlie (often anything beginning with "C" )
• Devil's Dandruff
• Racket
• Showbiz
• Gianluca Vialli
• Chuz
• Chaz Baps (if snorted off a breast)
• Daz Baps (if snorted off a washing machine)
• Krell (only if you're Ozzy Osbourne)
• Gak
• Ice or Snow
• Chang (popular in London)

Krell probably comes from the name Johann Krell who is attributed the invention of the refrigerator, a link to the Ice euphemism.

It turns out that Chang is one of the oldest words for cocaine, dating from the 1920s. In 1922, there was a moral panic in the press about young flappers taking cocaine at illegal London jazz clubs. (Newspapers latched onto the story after a nightclub hostess died of a gak overdose.)

The papers claimed that London's cocaine was controlled by a sinister Chinaman known as "The Dope King". The Chinaman's real name, believe it or not, was "Brilliant Chang".
