When I first moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania* I heard several Black people say that they were 'drugged' and I thought to myself "There must be alot of drug addicts in this city [true LOL] but actually they were using in to mean annoyed or upset or "pissed off"..for example: "I'm drugged that our team lost last night".
Does anyone know if "drugged" is used this way in any othehr place? area use this word this way?
*For those unfamiliar with the home of the Steelers football team and the Pirates baseball team, Pittsburgh, PA is about a 6 hour drive from the probably better known Philadelphia, PA; and Pittsburgh is about a 5 hour drive away from New York City..]
Since it once had a deservedly bad reputation as a dirty city because of the steel mills, "yunzt" may be surprised at how beautiful Pittsburgh is now...
