Thread Name: Folklore: How do you say drunk?
Subject: RE: BS: How do you say drunk?
Blotto. Drunk as a skunk. Wasted. Drunk as a boiled owl. (That last one is a Native American expression gleaned from the book "Lame Deer - Seeker of Visions" It's a very cool book, with some great anecdotes. Another expression Lame Deer uses is to describe someone who leaves a scene very quickly, saying "he took off like a greased fart up a lightning rod".)
