PoncingThe phrases, "two's up" and " poncing fags" of the paper's title, relate to sharing an individual cigarette between two people, or "poncing" meaning to borrow a cigarette from a friend or acquaintance. In order to share a cigarette, a young person would shout 'two's up' or "go twos" or "saves" to the individual with the cigarette, who would then choose whether or not to grant the request and share.

Buss Downs and Aces

The bust down and the ace are essentially all you need to know about the sharing of cigarettes between friends...

a buss/bust down is when one person, usually the person who purchased the ciggarette (or bussER, if you will) smokes the ciggarette half way and then Joe Smoker (aka the bussEE) comes along and asks for a buss down....

now giving someone an Ace is giving them the last little tip of the ciggarette to smoke. maybe 4 or 5 pulls worth....

so you may here someone in the hood say "yo let me get a bust?"....and then you may hear them say...."nah yo, that's not a buss...that's a Ace!"..( or Ace me on dat?)

You can also ask to bum a fag/cig if you simply want a smoke.
