When you say that nobody ever actually sticks it in their pipe and smokes it. Why not and what exactly is the origin of this phrase?  Quite the conundrum, I'm sure you'll agree. |

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on always baffles me Probably a modernised version of something that was used in a western way back? |

I've actually asked a friend, and his response was:
"In the late 1850's pipes were the preserve of the very wealthy. A pass time of the very wealthy was smoking opium. They took to it like todays society took to drink. Just like in todays bars and clubs where drinking games are used to pass the time, the opium dens were also places where mental arithmatic was used as an escape from the world outside. Smokers would quiz each other on general knowledge, past monarchs, capital cities and science and should a contestant not be able to answer the question he was forced by the others to take a big suck on the pipe."
