From 'carparked' to 'cabbaged': Britons have over 500 words for 'drunk' - so, what's your favourite?

If you've ever felt'gazeboed', 'carparked' or completely'cabbaged' after a night out, this may come as no surprise. Linguistic researchers have discovered that virtually any noun can be transformed into a'drunkonym' – a synonym for intoxicated – simply by adding'ed' at the end. The study found we have an astonishing 546 words that are formally defined as meaning drunk, including'trolleyed', 'hammered', 'wellied' and'steampigged'. It confirms a theory first suggested by comedian Michael McIntyre, who said Britons could understand any word as meaning drunk if it is preceded by'I got completely...' Professor Christina Sanchez-Stockhammer, of Chemnitz University in Germany, believes it may be due to Britain's deeply-rooted culture of social drinking and Monty Python-style absurdist humour. Researchers have found that Britons have 546 words for drunk and that almost any word can be used so long as it ends with an '-ed' (stock image) She said: 'In English, there's an extremely large number of words that can mean drunk, and more can be formed simply by adding'ed' to the end.
