Doc Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Don't you feel that most will search "quit chewing"?
schaef Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Don't you feel that most will search "quit chewing"? I never called it chewing unless I had a pouch of RedMan or LeviGarett.
Mitch McDeere Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I never called it chewing either. Loose leaf is chewed. Dip and snuff are dipped.
Guest Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I called it chew. I think its a regional thing.
Lipi Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I definitely feel there is some utility in getting ranked with search terms like "quitting chew". I would ask guys if I could bum a chew, but I always dipped.
Guest Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 it was a Tin of Chew for me and everyone in this area. never heard can and rarely would you hear someone call it dip.
bigdilg Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I used both. probably dip or chaw more than anything
Sapper Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 It's a can of dip everywhere I've ever been. Chew was the loose leaf stuff, like Levi Garrett, Redman, etc.
bigdilg Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I always used tin but when I went to college a lot of those guys used can so I've heard a lot of both ways
Lipi Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I think the words chew and dip are somewhat interchangeable, but I never used the word can. I actually never once heard someone call it a can. Just trying to imagine someone saying "pick me up a can" or "have you seen my can", are you guys saying people actually use that term? Get me a chew. Get me a dip. Get me a tin. Get me a lipper. If someone asked e to pick them up a can, I'd ask "of what?"
Sapper Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Yes, the bottom right quarter of the nation calls it a can
8meds Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Upper Midwest = chew, or tin. Throw me my tin ... lemme get a chew from ya ... where the fuck is MY TIN honey! Good times Dumb times!
Lipi Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 "Are you hiding my fucking chew again? If so, its not funny. I am in a hurry and don't have time to stop at the store, so quit fucking around.": - retarded fucking addict
Mitch McDeere Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Throw a lipper or dip in. Or Uppah Deckah Lippah as the Southie folk call it. I always got it from my tin, but my buddies called it a can.
schaef Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Always called it a tin til I came down to Va. All the folk around here call it a can.
Doc Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 Can of dip/chew/cope. Give me a dip. Do you have a chew. Mom to me when I was 10, "I better never catch you with that chewing tobacco stuffed in your lip making you look like a half wit." Smart lady but I already had a can of skoal in my sock.
schaef Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 just typed quit chewing in Google... it replied ... like food, why would you want to quit chewing food? 1
Doc Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 But quit chewing autofills with tobacco on my Google search
schaef Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 so serious quit dipping or quit chewing it's still quit
Dirty Randy Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I called it both dip and chew, as well as chaw, lipper, grab my tin, etc.
Napa Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Called it Dip or a can growing up. In college I lived with 3 South Dakotans who refered to it as chew. Never heard tin until I came to these sites.
Dlongracing Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 dip or lipper or pinch, chew or chaw meant redman style tobacco, Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
IndianaMike Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I never heard of tin until I came here. I usually write 'tin' now. Usually they call it chewing tobacco at facilities I work in, but we always said dip, or if you had one in and someone offered you a cookie or something, I'd say "thanks anyway, but I have a load in".

If I heard you had a load in, I would think you had a dump in your pants, not a turd in your lip. 1 1
Shorthorn Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I used dip / chew interchangeably but used chew mostly. Almost always said a can of chew.
Dirty Randy Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I had never heard of it referred to as a can until I joined a quit site. Similar to Lipi, if I heard someone ask for my can, I would assume they wanted to bone me.
Sajax Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 In the navy I ran into "dip" and "a can of dip" almost universally. Regardless of what your private regional term was people asked others if they had a can of dip on them. And asked to bum a dip. Happened everywhere I was stationed. At home near the Alabama border it was usually called "cope." Just like everyone in that area drinks "coke." "Hey man, got any cope on ya?" "Yessum" "Aight, what kind ya got?" "Kodiak long cut.." etc. Akin to asking if you want a coke to drink and telling you we have pepsi, 7-up etc.

QuitSpeak Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Dip, diz, dizzle, cans of dip, take a dip, demon shit. Chew implies levi garrett but the verb chew could mean to be a dip user, you chew?
IndianaMike Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I never heard the term "cope" until I came here too.
Napa Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 In my area if you wanted to bum one from somebody you asked for a "bump".
Doc Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 In my area if you wanted to bum one from somebody you asked for a "bump". Are you sure you didn't hang out with coke heads? 3
Shorthorn Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Really Napa... We always asked to "bum a dip".... never heard of bumping a dip
Grady Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Coming from a family of chewers, it was a can or as my Dad called it "box of snuff." I never once heard the term lipper until I quit.
Sluggo Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Never heard it referred to as a tin or a lipper until I met you guys. IL/MO it was can of dip, same in FL and VA.
Doc Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Definitely heard the box of snuff term a lot from the old timers.
schaef Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Tin, Dip, Fatty, Roll - NJ Can, Dip, Lipper, Sleeve - VA
IndianaMike Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 I remember sleeve back in the 80s for a 10 pack, but we called the newer 5 can packs "rolls".
Napa Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Shorty, referring to it as a bump was popular in the rodeo circles. " hey_____, give me a bump". Doc, there were several of the other bumps going around those circles back in the day, but I mainly kept to my beer and whiskey.
Lipi Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Never used the term sleeve or roll, we always bought "Logs". For the last several years of chewing, I would only purchase my tins of Kodiak one tin at a time rather than saving some money by buying them in a log. Why? Because I desperately wanted to quit. I didn't want to admit to myself that I would not only finish that tin, but also another one after it. Let alone another nine. But in all that time of wanting to quit, I never took any positive steps toward quitting. Yes, sometimes I would try to downshift by buying Skoal. I didn't like it (not strong enough to give me my fix) so I figured I would do it less and taper off. That never worked. Sometimes when I was thinking about trying to quit chewing, I would buy a hundred bucks worth of lozenges, or the gum, or the patch. I never knew that these NRT ("nicotine replacement therapies") are a lie. Although they might make your gums or your lungs feel better for a while, you never address the root problem. The addiction. You can't beat an addiction by feeding the addiction, regardless of whichever vehicle (Dip, smoking, NRT) is delivering you your nicotine. Every single person reading this knows- its just a matter of time before that patch gets torn off on a bad day. "Fuck the patch! I need a real chew. I'll go back to the patch tomorrow." But tomorrow gets pushed back, and within a few days, or even a few hours, you're right back to full blown nicotine bender. The only way to really quit is cold turkey. I know because I was in a constant state of "trying to quit" for about 20 years, but never took the real leap that would save my life. Not until I found support through other quitters. But what about that bad day, where you "need a chew"? You don't. We lean on each other in the hard times. We have learned that rather than solving problems, nicotine was our biggest problem. And a fatal one. 394 days quit this morning. Cold Turkey. With my bros. Fuck you Kodiak. Not another log. Not another tin. Not another pinch. Never. 4
JTBrown Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Usually we did it like we do with soft drinks (everything is Coke) and just called it a can of snuff. I had never really heard it referred to as a tin, or lipper, or anything like that before. We got a pinch of snuff, can of snuff, got a dip, that kind of thing. And for what it is worth, I would likely Google "quit dipping".
xRamAscendentx Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 I always called it dip. Chew is Levi Garrett and Redman, to me. I have noticed that people from outside of the Southeast called it chew, but that never made sense to me. Pop and soda have the same kind of regional slang. In the South, we call carbonated soft drinks such as Coca-Cola and Mtn Dew soda. In the Midwest, they call those drinks pop. Both terms make sense.
Dlongracing Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Skoal was dip redman was chew that powder shit you snort was snuff condensed red man was plug.
kd2 Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 Called it chew, tins and logs in MN growing up. Didn’t hear dip until I moved to the south for college and been calling it dip and cans cause the dealers in the c stores didn’t know what a fucking tin was. i dipped 22 odd years and I only bought one log. I was 16 went in on it with a friend it was rooster...we used to say throw in a fuckkkkkrooooost...and play golden eye. I was always going to stop after that last purchase...I’d buy two at a time typically. Chaw, chawspit, or the old two Point conversion, and it’s making me sick thinking about it! Yuck I hate that shit. 2

Maggs Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 Lipid who noted that I would dip or have a dip but would ask to borrow a pinch of chew. My buddy called it chaw. I always thought chew didn't make sense since you don't actually chew it like you might with loose leaf. I called the container a can o Grizz. 2
Maverick Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 we used to say "pack a tear"... just memories of douchery.
