Sanam became apple of the eyed and complimented the taxi driver's pupils while missing the house number. apple peared adj. You are drunk and crisp at the edges, but liable to yield suddenly when asked to walk straight. Emett went apple peared between the pub and the taxi rank, upright until the kerb required negotiation. apple pied (/ˌæp.əlˈpɑɪd/) adj. Of a drinker: warm, settled, and convinced that a slice of something sweet is the proper conclusion.
