55 years ago today, 5 friends at San Rafael High School in California coin the term "4:20" as a euphemism for smoking pot.
The Boston song "Smokin'" clocks in at 4 minutes, 20 seconds, and if you multiply the numbers in Bob Dylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 And #35," you get 420.

Yesterday evening whilst I was chilling out the was a banging on my door (no this is not a euphemism naughty). I was the daughter of my ex-neighbour demanding to know where her mother had gone.
