Description
Please pass the pipe. Who's got a "piece"? There are numerous names and types of smoking devices available. A water pipe, also known as a 'bong,' is a type of pipe that uses air and water to filter and cool smoke. There are also variations on the standard bong, such as a gravity bong and a double chamber. These are fairly common names for smoking devices in the United States that most people are familiar with, but what about other parts of the world?

First and foremost, where does the term "bong" come from? It is thought to have originated in Thailand from the Thai word 'baung,' which refers to a cylindrical pipe or tube cut from bamboo. One of the earliest recorded uses of the word in the West is in the 1944 McFarland Thai-English Dictionary, which describes one of the Thai language meanings of 'bong' as "a bamboo water pipe." Do people in Canada say 'bong'? So, how about in Jamaica? Here are some common names for these water pipes around the world.

Cross-Cultural Names for "Bong"
