We're not allowed to call them users around here ... they're customers.

 

[CarlKillerMiller]

Because it's the only applicable verb? We use software, we use drugs. We don't use french fries, nor do we use cars. Why? Because we already have verbs for those activities. We eat french fries and we drive cars.

Just my thought, though.

drug dealers call their clients "this guy i know"

... not that i would KNOW or anything

I'm pretty sure the technical name is "end user" ...

i call my clients clients?

 

[TheTony]

They're both called users because dealers and programmers both give the people their fix(es).

At various jobs, I've called them clients, users, and lusers.

I've never heard a drug dealer call anyone a user. That word is reserved to be used by rehab administrators and therapists.

Client is what hookers call their customers.
