Pronunciation: /awld-lang-stohnd/

Sentence: Because of her tradition of getting Auldlangstoned well before midnight on New Year's Eve, Charlene could never quite remember how she'd brought in the new year — who she was with, or what she'd been doing — and she actually seemed resigned to that fatalistic custom, with her customary 'devil-may-care' attitude.

Etymology: auld lang syne - traditional New Years phrase and song; referring to 'the good old days' (from Scottish, auld "old" + lang "long" + syne "since") + stoned - intoxicated, inebriated (shortening of 'stone-drunk')
