plug
Someone who can get you something, most often a drug dealer. It can also mean a regular source for anything, like sneakers or concert tickets.
For parents and educators
Context matters a lot: "my sneaker plug" is harmless. If it comes up about vapes or drugs, especially someone who sells through social media, it is worth a direct, calm conversation. Drugs bought online can contain things the buyer does not expect.
