There is a technical definition and there are lay understandings. This has always been true. Wouldn’t you say?

- crististm 6y agoTrue. The end result is that the merge of the two ends up in the dictionary. Perhaps it's time to update the definitions but I doubt that 'amphetamine' will be defined as slang for 'meth' when in fact 'meth' is slang or short for 'methamphetamine'.
- zepto 6y agoYeah - I’m not expecting it to end up as slang. Just that as a lay term people think of meth as amphetamine in the way that people think of champagne as wine.
