I am safe to assume, then, that you don't know what a bong hit is.
I've known since I was a teen.
I'm betting that I can ask 100 random people on the street, 50's and under in age, and get an answer.
What do you think the majority answer will be?
It's fairly easy to call up references to bongs on the internet.
- Cypress Hill's rap Hits from the Bong is a famous musical reference to this form of smoking.
- The guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Frusciante, can be heard taking a hit from a bong at the beginning of "For Air" on his second solo album, Smile from the Streets You Hold.
From same source: "A bong, also commonly known as a water pipe, is a smoking device, generally used to smoke cannabis,"
Another: Dr Bongs provides a complete range of cannabis accessories from all the old favourites to new and exciting ideas
I suppose that the expression "bong hits" is understood by just about everybody, except those who don't take the common meaning of word usage and apply it.

Clinton would say, "What is the meaning of 'is.'"
Those who work with kids day in and day out know what's being said/implied/hinted at. Any court that wants to play foolish "what's the meaning of 'is'" games is discounting the obvious.
There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.
