Brit-Speak

We all know Brits like to do their fair share (and then some) of drinking.  For all those who think we drink a lot in the States, we've got nothing on the UK.

Anyway... the BBC published a list of words that mean drunk in Brit-Speak.  Honestly, I think they are just making up words!!!  I have only heard of like 10 of these!

I brought this up to a coworker, and she told me that you can pretty much take any word, add an 'ed', and it means drunk.  

Here's the list in its full glory:
