gloryhole

(n) A hole placed in the side of a pipe or bong. A thumb is placed over it while taking a hit and released just before the use is done inhaling for the purpose of clearing the smoke from the chamber of the device. The location of the glory hole also determines whether a smoking device is intended for "right handed" or "left handed" people.

Charley: Hey Bob, do you know why this pipe I bought at the flea market makes me feel uncomfortable?

Bob: Well for starters you bought a left handed pipe despite the fact that you're right handed.

Charley: Left handed pipe?? please elaborate!!

Bob: Since you're right handed, you prefer to hold the lighter in your right hand while holding the pipe in your left hand. The pipe I originally gave you has the gloryhole located on the left side of the bowl closer to your thumb. This device you bought has the gloryhole on the right side of the bowl, requiring you to either hold it in your right hand, or use your index finger to cover the gloryhole when taking a hit. I'm also right handed and I can assure you whenever I'm smoking with a left handed person, I have difficulty adjusting to their pipes and bongs.

Charley: Shit man, that's wild. I'll definitely take notice of the gloryhole's location next time a buy a smoking device!!!
