Spasticunted.For someone thats truly had too much to drink,has lost bodily control and is still looking for a bit of biff.

Wow.That one made it through...

"Flattie" is just OZ/NZ slang.

Krunk. Korean funk. To be in a.

At the time, I had never heard the term as used in the hip-hop/rap world. And my meaning was totally different, so...

Today, I thought of the noun "ajumocity" (rhymes with "velocity.")
Looking back through the annals of Dave's, I see that uberscheisse has claimed ownership of that one. Got to love it.

A while back, we were brainstorming collective nouns, and we came up with "ajummada" though I can't find the thread so I don't know who to credit. Whoa, turns out *I* invented it. Clever me.
seoulsucker came up with "ajummafia" and someone else coined "squadjuma" and they're both great.

There was a similar thread last summer which is worth another look.
