What does the term Godsmack mean?

Answer 1

According to the band's lead singer, the term is a karmic reference. The singer was taunting the guitarist about a cold sore; the next day the singer came in with a cold sore in the exact same spot. The guitarist said that God had "smacked" him. Godsmack is actually a slang word for very high grade and pure heroin, and a killing dose therof. Street heroin is classified numerically from 1-4. Heroin # 4 may be up to 80% pure. Heroin of this purity is usually lethal if injected uncut. It is said the last thing an addict sees before he dies is God, therefore, Godsmack. The word smack was an early slang for heroin, so a fatal overdose is referred to as Godsmack.
