Word Of The Day: “slam-drunk”
Submitted by Sarah D. Bunting on December 13, 2011 – 4:57 PM6 Comments
My initial definition for “slam-drunk” was as follows:
slam-drunk. n. A beverage guaranteed to give you a working buzz-on in a single serving. (“The Gibsons at Oyster Bar are a slam-drunk, man.”)
But now I feel as though I’ve missed an angle or two — as though there’s another definition within the beer-goggle-verse that I should cover as well. (“He wouldn’t give me the time of day during daylight hours, but after two Blue Moons, he’s a slam-drunk.”)
Thoughts?

“Man, don’t let me near that damn darts board after three boilermakers, I’m a total slamdrunk and will probabably end up with my head darted to the wall.”

The mysterious ability to actually perform a task better when drunk.
“I can’t cook worth a damn, but give me a few jack & cokes and ask me to make you an omelet, and BOOM: I’m a total slam-drunk in the kitchen.”
Nothing of value to add. But: Very nice work.
I like jive turkey’s angle.
I just got the “Live at the Greek Theatre” 2-CD/DVD set for Christmas (love!) – so I’m going with a Flogging Molly mosh pit. Cheers, you bastards!
