nerdfury.livejournal.comHi guys! So I know I've been posting late a lot of late, and it's all partially due to illness, sometimes laziness and forgetting until the day after, but to make up for it, I have eight words for you!
Goat-drunk [goat-drunk? Do I really need to say more? :D)
adjective
Definition
Made lascivious by alcohol.
Etymology
First seen written by Thomas Nashe in Pierce Penniless, published in 1582, including the eight types of drunk.
Usage
Nor haue we one or two kinde of drunkards onely, but eight kindes.
The first is Ape drunke, and he leapes, and sings, and hollowes, and daunceth for the heauens.
The second is Lion drunke, and he flings the pots about the house, calls his Hostesse whore, breakes the glasse windowes with his dagger, and is apt to quarrel with any man that speaks to him.
The third is Swine drunke, heauy, lumpish, and sleepie, and cries for a little more drinke, and a fewe more cloathes.
The fourth is Sheepe drunke, wise in his owne conceipt, when he cannot bring foorth a right word.
The fifth is Mawdlen drunke, when a fellowe will weepe for kindnes in the midst of his Ale, and kisse you, saying; by God Captaine I loue thee, goe thy waies thou dost not thinke so often of me as I do of thee, I would (if it pleased GOD) I could not loue thee so well as I doo, and then he puts his finger in his eie, and cries.
The sixt is Martin drunke, when a man is drunke and drinkes himselfe sober ere he stirre.
The seauenth is Goate drunke, when in his drunkennes he hath no minde but on Lechery.
The eighth is Foxe drunke, when he is craftie drunke, as many of the Dutch men bee, will neuer bargaine but when they are drunke.
So, now you have a field-guide to IDing drunks next time you go out!
