I like Jackie's way, seems gentler. Please move the thread. Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: What is the meaning of "What kind of grass are you smoking?"

Wish me luck... EDIT--hey, it worked. It's different this time, though: now there is an option for whether to leave a pointer or not, and it has a limit on how long the pointer will be there. I gave it the maximum, 31 days. Last edited by Jackie; 04/03/08 01:46 AM.

Can I be taken as an expert for saying something...:) I once came across a sentence like this and posted a similar question there. And I came to realize what it means by the help of all the guys here. In the context I referred to, it's a boss who said this to one of his best employee: No matter whatever you are smoking, find someone in the street and train them to achieve this as well. Here, I think, the boss de facto is very pleased or amazed at what the employee has done and there is a flavor of joking or intimacy.... So I think the sentence can also be used in a postive way, if the listener is close or inferior to you... Am I right? Just for your information, anyway. Do inform me if you see any corrections needed in my written English.

It can also be used in a positive or neutral sense to refer to someone being in a very good mood, especially in a bad situation.
