Zeberdee nickname equals Cocaine how??


As a Yankee i had to watch this movie 3 times to get the lingo and accents, i still don't get why calling somebody Zeberdee links them to cocaine use...some please explain this to me...in american we call them tweekers, or straight up coke heads

reply

It doesn't that is a characters name

a character from what??? in the movie danny dyer's character says "we called him zeberdee because of all the powder he sniffed", i thought zeberdee was slang for coke-head in london.....so which is it??

reply

Yeah, i don't it either.

I don't know if the original poster will ever check this post out but the reason he's called Zeberdee is because in magic roundabout Zeberdee is a pogo like charactor with the same attribute as someone on coke. if he smoked loads of dope he would be called dylan

Zebedee is a character that was always bouncing all over the place on the Magic Roundabout...hence using as a cokehead nickname
