Thread Name: Folklore: How do you say drunk?
Subject: RE: Folklore: How do you say drunk?
The folk around Inverness have a word (spelling?) blutered or blootered as in " Absolutely Blutered ".
Around my neck of the wood (in England) "to be a pissed as a hand cart " but why that phrase came about,I have very little idea thought I know a story, too long to relate here which could account for it.
Did anyone mention " 3 sheets to the wind? " again I have no idea of it derivation - more my Dad's generation (long gone) .
Younger kids lads round here refer to "pineapple" as in chunk , but I agree - it's not great - is it?.
My peer group used to commonly use "Arseholed " before it got associated with something completely different.
