What is Tweaker Shit?

I’m Australian, so not up on US terminolgy :-)

Speed blogging a solution to the worlds problems manifesto between alternating lines of coke and meth.

I'm not sure if that fits the author in this instance, but that's certainly the image I walk away with from the GP comment.

To downvoters - look up tweaking in urban dictionary and imagine something worse before clicking that arrow.

I would guess tweaker shit is the type of drivel one comes up with whilst tweaking (i.e. being under the influence of amphetamines).

I thought this a little odd, as I know Australia is no stranger to Meth, so I googgled.

Lol, tweaker has a completely different meaning in Oz https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/spin-or-substance-shoul...

In Canada Poppers are mixing tobacco with Cannabis In the US Poppers is Amyl Nitrate and used for relaxing your rectum for anal sex. When I showed Canadians urban dictionary and what Americans call poppers they couldn't believe it

In fairness, I'm Canadian and I have never heard anyone describe mixing tobacco and weed as a "popper".

In Australian terms it's the text you receive from your friend a few minutes after he disappears into a pub toilet accompanied by a guy wearing wraparound sunnies and holding a rolled-up $5 note.
