bong
Smoke through water
A bong is a water pipe used for smoking cannabis or tobacco.
Smoke passes through water before inhalation, cooling it and filtering some particulates.
The word imitates the bubbling sound the device makes.
As a verb, to bong is to smoke from one: We bonged a few bowls before the movie.
Separately, bong is the deep resonant sound of a large bell.
