Where did this word come from? I was watching Fear and loathing in Las vegas the other day, and at the part of the convention where the cop tells about the roach being called a roach because it looked like a roach, then johnny and the other guy laughing and cursing him out made me wonder hwo that word roach did come to be?

Roach, Max. One of the greatest drummers in history.

Is that really where the term came from?

a roach in Canada just means the end of a joint that is unsmokable as it will burn your fingers, cardboard filters are not common. I have no idea where the term came from....

Yeah a roach is when the joint or blunt is too small to hit. I live in the US and we also use it as a verb (i.e. "u wanna roach it or what?") when its time to put it out.

another word i've heard for "roach" is "duck". i have no idea how that one started....

There is no such thing!
But yes, he's pretty much got it. Most people save their roaches and smoke em' out of pipes or whatever.
