Giggle Weeds

I was fascinated by Indianapolis Peg's father's explanation of the term "giggle weed". I think they have it wrong- it should be "gigaweed" as in Gigawatt meaning "lots of weeds". What do you think? 🙂

Only if you weed between the lines, John!

BTW: “giggle weed” can also mean “marijuana.” But I doubt that's what Peg's father had in mind! (or at least, I hope it isn't)

The Urban Dictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=giggle+weed) defines "giggle weed" as "A slang term for marijuana or the herb. "
