apethed (/ˈeɪ.pəθd/) adj. Loosened by drink into a halfpennyworth of coordination, insufficient for the staircase but offered freely. Jerrion was apethed at the bar, contributing a halfpennyworth of balance to each attempted turn. apewomanned adj. Emboldened by drink to climb the stairs with simian confidence and no recognised plan. Lucil went apewomanned up the staircase, using the banister as though it were a branch. apex courted adj. Drunk and seeking the supreme position in every conversation, particularly while missing the top stair. Dolcey went apex courted at the landing, interrupting everyone before sitting on the highest step. apex fallacied adj. Drunk to the point where one successful step is taken as evidence that the whole staircase is manageable. Tykwon became apex fallacied after reaching the first step and attempted the remaining twelve without support. apex predatored adj. Drunk enough to regard the staircase as prey, despite being plainly outmatched by it. Fenil went apex predatored on the stairs, advancing upon the top step with considerable but misplaced intent. apexcardiogramed adj. Drunk past the point of recording each heartbeat through the visible movement of the chest. Olufemi became apexcardiogramed beside the stairs, each breath marking a new and uncertain direction. apexcardiographied adj. Drunk beyond coordinating the chest’s measured beat with the feet’s unscheduled progress. Zonya went apexcardiographied on the landing, heart and legs proceeding to different rhythms. apexed (/ˈeɪ.pɛksd/) adj. Slowed by drink to the highest point of each stair, pausing there as though it were a summit. Nakeda became apexed on the third step, resting at its highest point and declining further progress. apexificationed adj. Drunk by closing time, and settling firmly into the nearest chair as though rooted there. Marniqua became apexificationed beside the cloakroom and required considerable persuasion to leave. apexited adj. Drunk, with the result that the body becomes colourless, crystalline, and unexpectedly difficult to move. Dahlila went apexited on the landing, pale and mineral-like until someone guided her indoors. apexogenesised adj. Drunk to a degree that the tooth’s tip seems to be calcifying while the root searches for formation. Kamaiya became apexogenesised halfway upstairs, preserving the tooth-tip posture and abandoning the root. apextrinned adj. Drunk to the extent of becoming an extracellular larval protein, associated with evolution but poor at stairs. Tyheem went apextrinned on the landing, biologically promising and mechanically unable to descend. apfelstrudelled adj. The state of being drunk and layered, sweet, and difficult to transport home without damage. Quiana arrived apfelstrudelled, carrying her coat like a plate of pastry. aphaciaed adj. Softened by drink into misjudging every distance, particularly the distance between the bar and the exit. Gayathri was aphaciaed after the second round and missed the coat hook twice. aphaeresised adj. Having drunk enough to remove the opening syllables from words, leaving a lexically reduced but confident speaker. Burnley became aphaeresised and requested a ‘taxi’ by referring to it as a ‘xi’. aphagiaed adj. The condition of a drinker who can no longer swallow the last mouthful, though last orders have passed. Zulia was aphagiaed by the bar, holding the same unfinished drink through last orders.
