Pronunciation: low d stow nd

Sentence: Carter knew how to bolster up for the Christmas gatheringy-dingdings. All it takes is a slew of morale boozeter shots. Everyone knows that a Carter is good at getting well-loaded, yet still delivering the goods. For parties, Carter was well sot after, perhaps because of his plastered smile, and smooth as Black Velvet tongue. He was a loadstoned attraction.

Etymology: LOADED, STONED, LODE STONE. Loaded and stoned are synonyms for being inebriated. Lode Stone not only means a magnetic rock, it is also any thing that attracts others.

Pronunciation: SOO-DOE-sa-lubri-cated

Sentence: Alfie's drinking philosophy could be stated quite simply: pound down a few shots before attending any social event where sparking wit might be called for. Alfie believed in getting PSEUDOSALUBRICATED...obtaining a "healthy buzz" before showcasing his karaoke skills and performing handstands on the bar. Although he was known to occasionally eat the label from a wine bottle, Alfie stubbornly refused to admit that a person could PSEUDOSALUBRICATE himself too much. Always entertaining, he often left the premises strapped to a hand truck.

Etymology: PSEUDO+SALUBrious+lubRICATED= PSEUDOSALUBRICATED.....PSEUDO:being apparently rather than actually as stated, false, fake;Middle English, from Late Latin pseudo.....SALUBRIOUS:favorable to or promoting health or well-being, especially in a social setting;Latin salubris; akin to salvus safe, healthy.....LUBRICATED:to make smooth or slippery, to imbibe just enough alcohol to make something bearable;Latin lubricatus, past participle of lubricare, from lubricus slippery.
