Definition

British slang for a cigarette, originating from 1991 Manchester rave culture where someone's vivid (possibly drug-induced) observation noted the resemblance between a lit cigarette end and a glowing electric stove element. A term that's charmingly specific to a very particular time and place.

Example Usage

Mate, got a stove I can borrow? Need one before we head to the club.
