"Cigs" is still used as an abbreviation for cigarettes? I first heard it many years ago when an AG used it on an episode of The Sopranos (the same infamous episode that featured every stereotype in the book regarding an intergenerational relationship, and showing murderous mobsters having "better" morals than the high school coach who was the older partner in that relationship). I had no idea it was still used, but what place more appropriate than this board to keep it going, eh? And I never knew that "suds" was an abbreviation that is in circulation (unless you just invented it).
