Following on from McGrath of Harlow's suggestion in an earlier thread, a scot's friend of mine once told me there were 40 colloquial scottish words defining the different degrees of inebriety, the only one I remember is "stortin" which applies to when you are walking along the pavement bouncing off the wall in a series semi-circular loops. I've often wondered what the other 39 variants were, any ideas?I know the word "stocious" (stow-shus) is in there somewhere but not if it comes before or after.
Can't think why I should be so interested in this subject,but I'll drink to that anyway
cheers
