trip
noun- a hallucinatory drug experience US
Uncertainty surrounds the first slang usage of the term. US slang lexicographer Peter Tamony argued in American Speech (Summer 1981) that the term was first used in a slang sense by Jack Gelber in The Connection, a 1957 play dealing with heroin addicts. Tamony privately conceded that the usage was not “a smoking gun”, and in retrospect it appears more figurative than slang. The Oxford English Dictionary points to Norman Mailer’s 1959 Advertisements for Myself, in which Mailer wrote of taking mescaline and of “a long and private trip”, but there is no evidence that Mailer’s use reflected a colloquial understanding and was not simply literary metaphor. Similarly, in a 1963 article about LSD in Playboy, Allan Harrington used the term ‘trip’, but again the context suggests metaphor, not slang. The slang sense of the word is indelibly associated with Ken Kesey and his LSD-taking Merry Pranksters. In 1964, Ken Kesey bought a soon-to-be-famous International Harvester school bus in the name of Intrepid Trips, Inc., suggesting an already current, if private, slang sense. In September 1999, Kesey wrote about his recollection of the first use of the term: “I think it came from our bus trip in 1964, when Cassady said ‘This trip is a trip’”. - A student in Berkeley walked out a third-story window, saying, “As long as I’m going to take a trip, I might as well go to Europe.” — Hunter S.
