Definder - what does the word mean?

What is hit the John?

slang whiskey, especially of cheap or inferior grade

origin uncertain: may allude to wild bar brawls in a drunken state and the common male given name “John” for anyone so struck in such a fight indiscriminately and/or may be a corruption of ‘hooch

The cowboy always travelled on the drive with a bottle of Who-Hit-John in his hand.

What does "hit the John" mean?

#1.
Using the bathroom.

#2.
Alternate phrase for "smoking a joint." Used when the "authorities" are around, as a discreet way to let fellow stoners know what you just did/are going to do, because it sounds like #1 to virgin ears.
