What does SULPH mean in Scrabble?
noun
slangBritish
Amphetamine sulphate, the stimulant drug commonly called speed — a shortened British slang name.
Sulph clips a long chemical label down to one easy syllable for passing conversation among users. The clipping belongs mainly to British street culture, where a handful of rival short names for the same stimulant have circulated for decades, whizz being the best known rival. Which of these a speaker reaches for says more about their circle and their generation than about the substance itself. Pharmacology and law enforcement stick to the full technical label and never use sulph.
