Now we learn that the Qatari diplomat who was arrested for lighting up in the restroom aboard a flight bound for Denver may not have been lighting up a cigarette. He was lighting up a “one hitter.”
Unless you’re talking about baseball, we don’t have the foggiest idea what a one hitter is. Shep Smith doesn’t seem to know, either (although his denial seems a bit nuanced to us).
So we went to the ultimate source of all knowledge, the Oracle of Wikipedia, to find out.
A one hitter is a miniature pipe designed for a single inhalation, or “hit” of a smokable product, normally marijuana.
This pipe may be marketed together with a rectangular (or sometimes cylindrical) wooden case with two compartments, the larger to store the herb and a narrower, cylindrical compartment to store the pipe. The case is sometimes called a dugout, hitter box, pinch hitter, a pinchey, a tote-a-smoke, or a pinger (because it makes a “ping” sound when opened).
Just another public service from the folks at IHateTheMedia.com.
