Merry Christmas Happy New Year Still Blotto after all these parties

Christmas Tree at RantMom's

Actual alcohol tends more than anything else just to make RantWoman doze off. Nevertheless is happy to let her inner lexicographer run amok with this item from the Los Angeles Times about English ways to label drunkenness.

NB: RantWoman is aware that "Blind" is one such term. Cope.

NB: other languages have equally colorful euphemisms. RantWoman is not likely to demonstrate tonight.

Screen reader users note: the page contains A LOT of advertising goop! MAYBE RantWoman will take time to figure out options to cut down on what her screen reader actually reads. Maybe.

Maybe RantWoman will just recommend another fractal to enhance the lexicographic experience.
