For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for January 05, 2020

Note, Michael, that Brian has a sister. (If blue shirt is Gordon, isn’t he an only child?)

inebriated, pi$$ed

Give Elizabeth credit, Michael. She’s not wrong.

Such a simple answer! Too bad Mike and his cronies couldn’t have come up with it.;-D

Why is Michael so angry? I think it’s because Elizabeth said, “stupid” and not “stoopid.”

Pronounciation is everything

I love that smug look on Elizabeth’s face as she’s walking away. Face it, Michael — she OWNED you!

A few UK ones: tipsy, p*ss*d, slaughtered, mashed, sozzled, bladdered, baked, wrecked, hammered

Inebriated. liquored, steamboated.

Michael knows Elizabeth just gave the best answer possible!

Soused

Stinko.

I think you nailed it girl.

Give it a few years Elizabeth…lol

Lynn’s Comments:

This was an actual conversation overheard in my home…except it was adults talking!

Three sheets to the wind.

That was to be my contribution! ; ) And it’s FIVE words to add, all in one go, too.

Don’t forget “DUI’d”

Very interesting, Canadian boy speak american.

Left one out… Ash hole. Kind of goes with stupid.

Invited to play but stepped on the dice, and smiled.

All the adjectives for being inebriated can’t top Elizabeth’s “stupid”! Stupid is as stupid does…

Ivre, borracho, ubriaco, betrunken, full, bêbado…

My name is Otto and I loooove to get Blotto….lol

Schnockered. Three sheets to the winds.

MANY years ago when Steve Allen was on The Tonight show, he asked this same question. He got a lot more, the audience went wild and …so it goes!

I always prefered to get baked!

Wipe that smirk off your face, Elizabeth. You were “stupid” when you were fooling around and destroyed the milk. You were even stupider to commit a sin of lying to your mother about nonexistent robbers.

Tight does not mean drunk.

Elizabeth stupid? Says who?

Dumb boys!

three sheets to the wind

Looks like she is making wind.

In OZ a few years back the press used the phrase “tired and emotional” to describe a politician who was lost lost in his cups.

They forgot “pissed”, which means drunk in British English but angry in American English. I don’t know which meaning is used in Canada. Any Canadians care to weigh in?
