shufitzEuphemisms for "drunken"
Richard muses, "
I wonder whether the total number of euphemisms for sexual intercourse is greater than that for drunkenness?"
In the spirit of inquiry, let us collect euphemisms for drunkenness -- brain power only. They're numerous, so lets arrange them to make it easy to review and see whether an entry is new. Kicking it off:
- A to G: blind, blind-drunk, drunk, drunk as a skunk, feeling no pain, fried
- H to M: juiced
- N to R: pixilated, plastered, pissed
- S to Z: shicker, snookered, sodden, soused, three sheets to the wind, wasted
(16 so far)

Hic et ubique A to G: blotto, bombed, in one's
cups
H to M: happy, inebriated, intoxicated
N to R: ploughed, potted
S to Z: sh*t-faced, stoned, tight, tipsy
(running count at 33)

KallehIt hardly is fair for me to cite these because I have that book with 2000+ of them! One of my favorites from there is "daquifried."
BTW, "plough" was described as a sexual intercourse word too in the other thread. What
is it about ploughing?
