Word of the Day: gambrinous

gambrinous (adj)

Full of beer.

"Helmut was never able to leave a soiree until he was properly gambrinous, and usually suffered horribly the next morning as a result."
--Peter Novobatzky, Depraved and Insulting English

Beer at lunch with The Producer today. Me in the afternoon: Gambrinous? No. Slumberous? Yes.

Compare potvaliant. (No, it's not what you think -- quite.)
