Talk:Motorhead (disambiguation)

Slang term
The belief in England that Motorhead is slang for someone who uses amphetamines comes from the misinterpretation of the expression "speed freak". Speed in this insatnce refers to speed as in cars rather than speed as in drugs. Lemmy has clarified this: "The name comes from an old American slang for speedfreak, or lover of speed as in cars, etc. Vroom vroom." — Drwhawkfan (talk) 08:37, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
