Okay, this is obnoxious and all.
But what the hell is 'narcing'?
Old term. Think it was short for "narcotics agent", used to call someone a snitch basically
I think it's somehow related to the prohibition era. Perhaps alcohol was under the jurisdiction of narcotics?
It's odd that above doesn't know it, I thought its definition was well known and would have had no qualms about using it, I wonder if it's a regional word now?
