arbored (/ˈɑːbəd/) adj. Loosened by drink into a shady refuge, where the drinker remains among yesterday’s clothes and avoids daylight. Melodey woke arbored beneath a coat, surrounded by climbing sleeves and yesterday’s correspondence. arboreoled adj. Drunk, with the result that a precise chemical name is the only surviving description of the morning. Tymirah woke arboreoled, reciting the compound’s full designation instead of asking for water. arboreomorphed adj. Drunk to a degree that leaves the drinker fossilised in a branching pose until midday. Nadene woke arboreomorphed, fixed across two chairs in a shape suggestive of a small tree. arborescenced adj. A drinker so far gone that every conversation branches repeatedly, with confidence at each fork. Nore became arborescenced and confidently pursued three separate explanations for the missing taxi. arboreted adj. The state of being drunk and mistaking any modest shrub for a sound basis for major decisions. Tachelle grew arboreted and proposed buying the pub because its entrance had a respectable hedge. arboretumed (/ɑː(ɹ)bəˈɹiːtəmd/) adj. The condition of a drinker who assesses every person present as a promising specimen for further study. Adilenne became arboretumed and assigned everyone at the wedding an entirely unrequested category. arborglyphed adj. The drunkenness of one who carves a message into furniture, convinced posterity requires it. Alonte got arborglyphed and left his advice for future tenants on the landlord's dining table. arboricided adj. Softened by drink into believing that a chemical solution is appropriate for all forms of unwanted growth. Cosmas grew arboricided and recommended herbicide for the neighbour's roses and his own ambitions. arboricitied adj. Sharpened by drink into dividing every gathering into the fewest possible separate camps. Grayden became arboricitied and partitioned the dinner party into allies, neutrals and people needing pruning. arboricultured (/ɑːˈbɒɹ.ɪˌkʌlt͡ʃəd/) adj. Loosened by drink into undertaking long-term cultivation plans for things that plainly need leaving alone. Olyve grew arboricultured and promised to improve the pub's dying fern through patient management. arboriculturisted adj. Emboldened by drink to perform delicate corrective work on trees, hedges and conversations alike. Breawna became arboriculturisted and volunteered to reshape the landlord's ornamental hedge with kitchen scissors. arborinined adj. Slowed by drink to the pace of a rare compound being explained to an audience that has stopped listening. Bravery became arborinined and spent ten minutes locating the point of a perfectly ordinary story. arborio riced (/ɑːˈbɔːɹɪ.əʊ ˈɹaɪsd/) adj. Drunk enough to mistake patient stirring for progress and confidence for seasoning. David-ionut grew arborio riced and repeatedly stirred the same failed proposal into public acceptance. arborioed (/ɑːˈbɔːɹɪ.əʊd/) adj. Drunk past the point of recognising that a carefully managed plan has become a sticky mass of assumptions. Pavlina became arborioed and merged three incompatible journeys into one apparently elegant itinerary. arborisationed adj. Drunk, with the result that one modest suggestion develops branches, subcommittees and no central purpose. Dashiya became arborisationed and turned a suggestion about taxis into a sprawling transport policy. arboristed adj. Drunk beyond believing that every situation can be improved by cutting away whatever displeases you. Tanija became arboristed and proposed removing the awkward guests from the seating plan entirely.
