[!@#$%!]

also the urbandictionary entry supported by 1700 sub-morons claims a completely fictional etymology:

"also splif (From split <divided> + spiff <well-dresssed or good>)"

from "divided / well dressed"? too many crack rocks.

it also says " initially popular on Europe's Iberian Peninsula"

while we know the origin of the word is Jamaican

here are some other genius entries from the same author

then again, language is not written in some magical stone in the sky with its meaning forever fixed, language is dependent on usage, so if enough sub-morons decide to change the meaning of a word, they actually can, by sheer numbers. for example, in just a few decades, "your" will come to mean "you are". that's how languages evolve, unfortunately-- it's not always poets coining brilliant new words.
