Irish Slang for Drunk - Help Needed
Right...for this thing I'm writing (like my novel and stuff) I need to get as many Irish terms as possible for being drunk...so far I have come up with:blootered
bollixed
fluthered
f*cked
full as a sheugh
lamped
langered
langers
lashed
locked
mouldy
ossified
paralytic
piddled
pished
pissed
plastered
polluted
scuttered
sozzled
stocious
twisted
But can anyone add more to my list? I really want words used in De Nart. Send your slang jewels to my gmail or comment on this page :) I will provide some of Donegal's finest poitín to the person who sends me the bestest words!

slaughtered

and, of course, adding f*ck to any of the above as a modifier.
"He was pished as/to f*uck."
rubbered, w*nkered, 'full as a whore's handbag'
sh*tfaced
sideways
slaughtered
smashed
steaming
tired and emotional (as a newt)
w*nkered
wangoed
wrecked
and my personal favourite:
rinsed
Also just got given
- wrote off
- sh*t faced
- horsing drunk
wankered
blended
smashed
gee-eyed
fucked
slaughtered
hockeyed
battered
tanked
forgot 'snattered' and 'writ'.
Aye yes, gee-eyed is indispensable; and mouldy works only if it is pronounced to rhyme with 'owl'.
How come nobody has mentioned 'hammered'? It may not be native to Ireland but it has been truly naturalized by now.
And there is also the lovely 'goothered'.

Poleaxed
Lurgan
plutered
banjoed
bunkered

Wow! The beauty and variety of our language astounds me...I don't think I'll be able to do justice to Irish For Drunk in my novel! But I'll certainly give it a go.
I'll bring this extract in to writers' group next week :)
Thank you thank you thank you for all dem brillant words!
I'll award the poitín privately. Didn't say I wasn't in this competition, did I?
