Droogy?!

I had to look that up.

Urban Dictionary: droogie
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=droogie

In reference to droog. A term first dubbed in the book A
Clockwork Orange. It describes an ultraviolent gang member.
Used by Mustaine commonly to beckon to his true fans, as he
enjoys this piece of literature.

I confess to being an Oracle fan...

Yet I’ve not needed to resort to violence since grade school.
(Defensively. No parties broken, just bruised.)

Since then, my typically non violent yet piercing prose,
generally gets the job done.

;-)

While little Alex called his fellow "ultraviolent gang members' his droogs, it wasn't because they were "ultraviolet gang members". It was because they were his "friends" or "mates", in as much his little sociopathic self could have friends.

Giving the meaning of "droog" over to "ultraviolent gang member" is just this dope connecting dots, not defining the term.

That's the derpish way, and not very horrorshow, you ask me.
