n.pl.— «Some users, fearful of taking a chance, have sought to substitute the drug with large quantities of diazepam, or “squiggly G’s.” Imported cheaply from India and Pakistan, and available for just a couple of pounds, a handful will act as a long-lasting stopgap.» —“‘One young lad said he was on a mission to die'” by Martyn McLaughlin The Herald (Glasgow, Scotland) July 12, 2006.
