Dope

For my history of a word essay, I have carefully selected the word "dope", as I personally enjoy this word very much. To me, the word "dope" just sounds...well, dope. As both a proper and slang word, it has many uses and meanings, making it a great word to write an extended definition on. I personally tend to use the word in only one way (the slang form meaning cool or awesome), but I intend to begin using it in a plethora of ways once I've researched it extensively.
