You don't get away with saying "hey, not my term" to excuse lazy writing, especially when you're claiming to be part of one of the most historically hypersensitive communities in existence today. Take a firehose to the face, then tell people it's because you're a furry, not the other way around (tempting fate).

Couldn't have said it better myself, Vincent.
Also, Sobek, I don't really don't think a niguana is a weed infused iguana. I think you need to Google the term if you really believe your definition. Either way, I don't think it was appropriate to use in your story unless you were going to explain in the story what it is and why it was called that.
