This is pedantic but it annoys me every time I hear someone say it, let alone see it in writing: amphetamine can be plural; methamphetamine never is. Meth is an amphetamine, technically a substituted amphetamine, one of several such amphetamines.
I ll take one meth please
Would you like the Large MethDouble combo or just the meth?
Okay but you're probably going to want more.
I'll take 2 methamphetamine please
No no, you misunderstand. I am trying get some narcotic. As one does.
If I was a cop I would have to ~~shoot~~ tell you. I promise, we good. Now, are you going to sell said illicit drug for money?
You are articulating more like a shroom user
Sorry, what's the action you want corrected?
I don't want to look like a idiot if I ever buy no no drugs.
Please trust me when I say that buying meth, if you never have, is dumber than anything I was talking about.
That said, the fine folk distributing meth aren't exactly the shiniest crystals in the batch.
