Is The Lounge usually this drunk on a Saturday night?
Or is this just a post-holiday breather?

3. I've never heard "faced" before.
Polluted, yes but not the other one.

6. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's shorthand for.....
shit-faced.

That's how I remember it, anyway.

Shit-faced is what I remember being, I mean hearing.

7. Well I was about 13 y.o.
Would you ever use "plastered"?

I wouldn't. I bartended for about 8 years and the phrase that has stuck is "wasted". One that we started using was " 'runk ". And you have to say the "r" deep in the back of your throat, and then...well...I'd have to do it for you for it to make sense.

9. That's of British origin
I had to adjust to it when I was a young Monty Python fan.


"'Socrates himself was permanently'... angry?" :shrug:

17. Yeah, I have a few British friends who say pissed...
Them: "I'm so pissed right now."
Me: "...Wait, angry or drunk?"

Wacky Brits.

12. it's a Lounge.
they serve alcohol -- and there's big, deep leatherette banquettes, red lanterns on the tables and a whole big long wall of booze behind the bar.
