Favourite drink while toking?

cannabineer

Ursus marijanus
OT: It's a German word that translates to "end of burn"....Dr. Von Braun & co used it as a rocketry term(pre WW2). I prefer to associate it with the feeling that I have when the burning is done.;)
Well no. The actual German term is Brennschluß (note three (3) differences in orthography) and it contains a subtlety you did not mention. A subtlety of intention; one I consider central.

Thus I am inclined to believe that you hijacked the term for coolness, but not from knowledge.

But thanks for playink.

OT(again): Thanks for the clarification. I learned the term from reading books by Willy Ley many years ago. ...and I'll never claim to be the smartest(or coolest) person in the room. :bigjoint:

This is possibly a gracious response.

I'll stay loose.

(Note added in edit. The sock puppeteer of whom I'm thinking is capable of this. Thus my vote is "undecided" at present as I do not wish to do either:

-throw a legitimate new guy under the Franzia bus

-legitimize a pestilential sock puppet of all y'all know who)

It is perilously akin to a specific term of art that I recognize from (my having spent) a life in a sort of geekery.

That bespeaks either an esoteric knowledge or a vast presumption.

Until shown otherwise, I am selecting option B.

brenschluss is the point in a rocket's trajectory where it's engines cut off and gravity takes over. closest term i could find...
