Are you doing a quiz? I don't think this is the scope of kudoz

Good idea. I wish the last poster had asked the same for AOK. There should be a category of such queries. As a native speaker, however, I would never have guessed at this meaning for '420 friendly'!

This term is very googleable :) I admit I'd never heard it before, but it seems to be well defined and easy to find.
