shotgun

When three or more people are to ride in a car, one of the non-drivers will often "call" shotgun, meaning that they get the privilege of riding in the passenger seat.

verb
- to smoke marijuana by one person inhaling from the source and then blowing the smoke into someone else's mouth. They inhale it and the chain continues. The term can also apply to other forms of smoking (e.g. cigarettes) but this usage is more rare.
In Canada the procedure is such that the person puts the lit end of the joint into their mouth, and blows smoke backwards through the joint, thus producing a steady stream of dense smoke into the lungs of another.- See more words with the same meaning: to smoke marijuana.
