jheem posted a list of terms you are not allowed to put on personalized jerseys bought at NFL Shops.

I'd never heard of the item that tops the list, 420. Has anyone else?

Urban legend says "4-20" is police code for "dope deal in progress," which could refer to the possession, purchase, sale, and/or the use of marijuana.

In my eight years, eight months, and eight days as a police communications person (1970 - 1978) in Fort Collins, Colorado, I never heard of "420," but ....

Really quite fascinating. Never heard of it, but I have heard of San Rafael High School. One of Sonoma Valley High School's arch enemies. Go dragons!

I've heard that it refers to 4:20 pm, the cannabis equivalent of high tea.

You sure it's nothing to do with the blackbirds baked into a pie?

Where is jheem's list?

Got it from an urban legend site.

Apparently, jheem is correct!

Read about it here.

Wow, I don't know what is more amazing...how the term 420 developed (I hadn't heard it either)...or how CW actually can look things up!
