In my head, there is a distinction between words (or phrases) you'd use to describe being drunk, and words you'd use to describe being high. This thread has a right old mix of the two. Does anyone else think like that, or would you use the same words to describe the two states?

I always liked the lovely old-fashioned concept of being in one's cups.
I like that in German being pissed can just be described as being 'blau' (blue). Especially as the AfD wants to be known as Die Blauen.

Originally posted by The-Reverend View PostAye Third Rate, like MsD I always associated off my tits with being on speed or pills whereas being drunk was usually just pissed or out my head.
Now clean of everything and trying pretty hard not to get into euphoric recall territory.
I thought we were referring to both anyway?

Polluted.
After the Irish Army's escapades in the congo, the phrase Baloobas drunk was in currency. I don't think that the insinuation was that that congolese balluba tribe were heavy drinkers. It's more a sort of vigourous and energetic drunkeness, a little short of a full on rampage. I was well into my twenties before I discovered that it wasn't just a nonsense Irish word that people liked the sound of, and I would be surprised if most people using it would have any notion where it comes from, and that's only 50 years ago.Last edited by The Awesome Berbaslug!!!; 18-01-2018, 18:49.
