Heard this on the radio the other day. The lady was also saying how remarkable it is that so many of the words revel in the harm we are doing to ourselves.

She said that more words are possible than in other languages because of the way English uses inflection.

Spangled.

About 500 of them though no one would have heard of, or wouldn't really know you meant drunk.

The following are deffo dubious

Zonked ...would mean tired?
Corny...rubbish/funny joke?

Blue...sad or down?

I heard someone say (can't say who) that British people can basically take any noun or inanimate object, add "ED" on the end and it becomes a valid way to describe how drunk you were last night.
