How would you translate:Pill popper

Question

I am currently stuck not being able to properly translate pill popper. Would you say? Popper de pildoras. I don't think so. So what is your version'

Answer 1

I figure that it could be translated as: "expendedor de pastillas/píldoras."

Answer 2

Good morning Dunia, but isn't expendedor more like a vendor?

Thanks for your reply

Answer 3

Dunia,
In this case I think popper is referring to a particular person. I don't think expendedor would be the best fit for this context, but I can't think what would.

Answer 4

In this case "expendedor" is a container that allows you to access easily to the content.

Can be a vendor too.

Answer 5

I have a case that involves a young girl that is a pill popper. If I were to interpret the word pill popper to her parents as espendedor de pildoras. I am more than sure they will think that she is the one dispencing them rather than the one taking them.

Answer 6

and "mancebo"'

Answer 7

I was thinking in an object, so don't take into account my explanation.

Answer 8

I would use consumidora de pastillas.

Answer 9

Thanks, Dunia for your response.

Answer 10

Thanks, Sally.

Answer 11

De nada.

Answer 12

I think mancebo means youth. I am looking for the act of taking pills. I know it is extremely difficult, since it is slang and there is no proper way of saying this.

Thanks.
