Is “kimbo” or “slice” Slang for Meth?
Question by TS: Is “kimbo” or “slice” slang for meth?
A few months ago, wikipedia had both “kimbo” and “slice”as common knicknames for methamphetamines, but, for some reason, these two terms have been removed. Furthermore, I can’t find “kimbo” or “slice” under any of the online drug-slang dictionaries that I’ve checked so far. Does anyone know why these two terms were removed from wikipedia and/or why they can’t be found elsewhere? Are they not slang for meth or some other drug?
Here’s a link on yahoo answers quoting the old wikipedia article on meth: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081215125641AAcHIB5
-Methamphetamine has the potential to cause addiction. An addiction to methamphetamine typically occurs when a person begins to use the drug as a stimulant, because of its enhancing effects on pleasure and sex, alertness and ability to concentrate. Over time, however, the effectiveness decreases, and users find that they need to take higher doses to get the same results; also that they have great difficulty functioning effectively without the drug.[citation needed] Common nicknames for methamphetamine include “crank”, “meth”, “ice”, “crystal”, “tina”, “glass”, “kimbo”, “bimbo”, “slice”, “k sleazy”, “P”[3],”shaboo” or “syabu”, and “yaa baa”. Methamphetamine is sometimes referred to as “speed”, but this term is usually used for regular amphetamine or dextroamphetamine.
Here’s the new wikipedia article on meth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meth
-Nicknames for methamphetamine are numerous and vary significantly from region to region, some common nicknames for methamphetamine include “crank”, “meth”, “ice”, “crystal”, “glass”, “shabu” or “syabu” (Philippines), “tik” (South Africa), “P” (New Zealand), “piko” (Slovakia), and “yaa baa” (Thailand).[Note 1] Methamphetamine is sometimes referred to as “speed”, but this term is generally reserved for regular amphetamine and dextroamphetamine.[

Hmm, that’s interesting.
You know, anyone can edit Wikipedia and you can contact them with queries too.
I once did so with an error I found about Georgia and they edited it immediately and emailed me with their thanks.
The said I can only image that someone has found it wrong and edited it out.
The sites below have fairly comprehensive listings of slang, jargon and nicknames for Crystal Meth / Methamphetamin.
Neither “kimbo” nor “slice” are listed on either:
