G'day RuEm,

I'd say so, and I expect a lot of the terminology to be vulgar or derogatory. Two examples being French Inhale and Irish Waterfall, which are actually racial slurs. I prefer to think of them as back-handed compliments, myself, because it's a bit fascinating to watch, and anyone who does it must have some degree of skill. I tried once, and ended up with smoke in my eyes, had a coughing fit, and a runny nose. That said, I smoke so infrequently, I had no tolerance.

Nick
