Drunk Talk



New words to add to the drunk lexicon from Modern Drunkard magazine.

Some of my favorites:

- AWOG adj. Absent Without Saying Goodbye. Slipping out of a bar or party without telling your friends. (Note: there should also be a word for the look in a drunk friend's eyes when he is plotting on slipping away. You can spot that look a mile off.)

- bar-bar n. a bar with no discernible theme. (Note: Q - What kind of bar is it? A -It's a bar-bar.)

- beereft adj. bereft of beer.

- Canadian n. bar staff slang for a non-tipper.

- cowboy up v. to order a shot of whiskey. (Note: Take that Kevin Millar!)

- drinking with Godot adj. drinking while waiting for friends who may or may not arrive; from the Beckett play Waiting For Godot, wherein the title character never appears.

- jason n. a drunk who passes out briefly then rises again to drink; a reference to the irrepressible Jason Voorhees protagonist of the Friday the 13th horror film series.

- Monet v. someone who appears attractive from across the bar, but less so up close
