langered
What does langered mean?
Hopelessly, helplessly drunk. Past tipsy, past locked, well into 'how did I get home' territory. One of dozens of Irish words for the same condition but among the most expressive.
"He was absolutely langered by half nine, had to put him in a taxi."
Origin
From 'langer', a Cork word for the male appendage (and, by extension, an idiot). To be langered is to be in a state worthy of the name — wrecked. Cork claims it; the rest of Ireland uses it anyway.
