Roaches not universal?

[toker22]

yeah it means both, can be the rolled up cardboard filter or just the end of the j, i used to roll w/o em, but you get a much better shape to the j if you use em, and i'd always forget what i did w/ my old roaches when i used to save em, this way you can just smoke the whole thing...has anybody ever hit when the filter was burning tho, trying to get the last bits of weed, its pretty nasty, harsh as hell lol

I guess it depends where your from, i think the end of a j is called a roach coz it looks like a cockroach (dduuurr). In the Uk paractically everyone uses roach

[cokekilla]

theres nothing wrong with roach

I wonder what dumbass started calling filters roaches (and yes, if you call a filter a roach, you are retarded)

[Thehulkster321]

i always call a roach the very end of a joint that u cant smoke cuz u burn ur fingers, but then agian i dont no much about joints or roaches i just smoke bowls cuz i suck at rolling and im to lazy to roll i'yd just rather pack a bowl. but quick question ... i remeber reading online that a roach is the strogest part of the joint becuase it collects resin and thats why its all brown and kinda gooey, if u use a carboard roach do u think the resin would build up on the card board and go to waste?

O_o; I suppose anyone who thinks different from you is a retarded dumbass, too?

I always roll my J's without a roach/tip/filter/tube, twist up one tip, and THEN insert the roach/tip/filter/tube. It helps pack the weed in more, and give you a firmer, smoother J.

I always find it amusing when Americans believe they are the masters of a language they borrowed.
Roach is a term that has been used by brits for many years and it can hardly be called a filter since it does no such thing.
Filters do just that ,they filter, since a roach has no filtering qualities why call it a filter?

Answers on a Bud lable to the institute for correct English please. :smokin:

[matt2m]

i dont use cardboard when i roll blunts or Js i just throw the roach in a bowl i never seen anyone do that down here we either smoke it or save ithe roach for later

[spliffstar22]

A lot of people do use filters here. I used to all the time, now i switch it up, the spliff gets boring after you keep rollin the same way..lol
