You're Top Poster: #1  | Hmm, yes, that awful meaning has become common here too. Actually, stubbie is from my student days - it meant those last few milimetres of cigarette before the filter that is normally stubbed out. Stubbies were what one dug out of the ashtray (our own mind you) in the middle of the night when one was working on an essay and ran out of ciggies.
