The phrase bong is a variation of the Chinese phrase baung which represents a round timber made tube, tube, or package cut from bamboo bedding, and which also represents the bong used for cigarette smoking. In the Twenty first millennium we now have “bongs” that range from cup to polymer to clay to timber. Bongs have been in use by the Hmong, in Laos and Thailand, and all over African-American for hundreds of years. One of the first documented uses of the phrase in the Western is in the McFarland Thai-English Vocabulary, released in the mid-1940s, which explains one of the definitions of bong in the Chinese terminology as, "a bamboo bedding water pipe for cigarette smoking kwacha, shrub, cannabis, or the hemp-plant." A Jan 1971 issue of the Weed Evaluation also used the phrase.
