Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / Essay on prostitution | | French term or phrase: J’étais **pognée*** par la dope | I would like to know the meaning of "pognée" (French from Quebec) in this context.
Je continue mon histoire. Un des travailleurs de rue a remplacé mon petit ami puisque j’avais besoin de la coke, il m’en fournirait si je faisais pour lui tant de "clients" par jour, et il me protégerait. J’étais **pognée*** par la dope et en plus j’avais bien besoin d’attention, que quelqu’un s’occupe un peu de moi. |
