[Nicaine]

Additions/corrections welcome! I got these from Babelfish, so there are a lot of additions to be made.

Street terminology in different languages would be interesting as well (words for various paraphernalia too -- what the heck's a crack pipe called in the back alleys of Port-au-Prince? ).

nice info, but it seems like everyone outside the system uses a slang word like coke to protect themself from prosecution. you never know when a conversation could be recorded, so be careful and say a slang wordlike coke since no one will care about what kind of cola you drink. cocaine just sounds so incriminating, doesn't it??
