The new advertising campaign for Lexus, "The Power of h", touts the technology of the hybrid car. Unfortunately for Lexus, and the agency behind the campaign, Team One, it also sounds like it's touting heroin. "H" is one of the most common street names for the drug. But Lexus could hardly be blamed for inadvertently using a slang term for heroin when so many words from the English dictionary have been co-opted for that purpose.
Below, Gelf offers an illustrated dictionary of a few of our favorite heroin synonyms, and the products that are unintentionally tied to them. (The terms are courtesy of the The Office of National Drug Control Policy.)
