Monica: So I told him, "I'm sorry. That's how I feel." And he told me I harsh-ed his buzz.

What does the "harsh-ed his buzz" mean?
Did you notice that about 7% of F.R.I.E.N.D.S jokes are hard to get? Especially if you are from a different country, like me. I've started this joke-research when I was learning English at home. I loved getting nerdy with all the cultural references here. The goal of this blog is to help you laugh with confidence at every joke our English speaking friends make.

According to the http://www.urbandictionary.com:
ReplyDeleteStoner (marijuana smoking) origin. When an incident occurs that causes one disappointment after a period of happiness or contentment. Akin to "bursting a bubble."
Also: Harsh(es)(ed)(ing) my buzz
I was really excited about my new play station, but when the power went out it totally harshed my buzz.
Yes, that's right! Although 'harshed his buzz' is old 80s slang--from the southwest coast of America, I think (where marijuana usage was stereotypically higher)--which makes its appearance on the northeast coast in the 90s, spoken by a 40-year-old man, very strange.
