quiff

Quiff in Brooklyn in the 1960's meant a homsexual or effeminate man.

That guy is quiff. I bet he's queer.

mezz

Marijuana - found in older urban dictionaries of the 1960s.
From Mezz Mezzrow, the legendary white jazzman and Harlem pot-dealer who turned on Louis Armstrong and other jazz greats during the 1930s. I never heard it actually used on the streets in NY, but someone must have for it to be cited back then. Anyway, old Mezz needs to be remembered for something.

Got any mezz? I can't get a hold of my dealer?
