It’s a flip of a coin whether my favorite stuffed animal smells like baby powder or weed… I like this :D
I got diapered and immediately after washing my hands of the baby powder, I bare fisted leftover spaghetti from the pot. Little behavior or too stoned to bother washing a utensil? lol

(slang, drugs, very, uncommon) Cocaine.
Baby powder means: Cocaine.. It is informal slang, fine in casual speech but not suited to formal contexts. It has drug-related associations; worth a calm conversation about which side of the topic your teen is on. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.
baby powder means: Cocaine.. Register: very informal, often derogatory or vulgar. Avoid in formal, business, academic, or polite writing. Even in casual speech the word can offend and is best left out of a learner's active vocabulary. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
