That'll teach me to accept Henly's explanation "it was a made up word, means nothing."

"Cola" is the Spanish word for "tail" as in an animal tail. Marijuana buds are commonly known as "foxtails". Colitas is a plural diminutive form - so the line means the smell of buds.

If "cola" means tail, then "colitas" or "little tail" is technically correct. Warm smell of marijuana makes sense in the context. They haven't had wine (spirit) since 1969, cause now they smoke the ganja.

Just like "nalgitas" would be "little nalgas" for "little butt." That is the most plausible interpretation of "colitis" in this context. Though little tail does make sense too if the context is pedo sex.

Henley has always struck me as a talented, perceptive guy who just also may be a closet sociopath. This thread isn't doing anything to improve my image of him.
