apple greened adj. The condition of a drinker who has turned a bright, faintly yellowish green and is reconsidering the evening's provisions. Kagan was apple greened by the final toast and declined the suggestion of another canapé. apple honeyed adj. Drunk to the point where every round has acquired a floral sweetness and a persuasive stickiness. Lakyn became apple honeyed after supper and agreed that one final round was practically medicinal. apple juiced adj. Drunk past the point of distinguishing a fruit-based mixer from a satisfactory plan for getting home. Tahirah was apple juiced and poured her remaining drink carefully into the pocket of her coat. apple leaf midged adj. Drunk beyond the point of noticing small intrusions, particularly the ones made into other people's conversations. Raida went apple leaf midged and settled into a discussion about train delays without knowing anyone involved. apple maggoted adj. Drunk in a way that leaves the evening's arrangements pitted, spoiled, and full of small internal damage. Ronell arrived apple maggoted at the station, carrying a ticket with several unexplained holes in it. apple mangoed adj. Drunk, with the result that an ordinary departure acquires an unnecessarily grand exterior. Bettiann went apple mangoed after last orders, presenting the night bus as a vehicle of considerable distinction. apple martinied adj. Drunk to a degree that makes a sharp green drink seem like an entire method of transport. Gal was apple martinied and claimed the pavement was taking them home by the quickest route. apple midged adj. Drunk to the extent of boring patiently through every conversation between the pub and the front door. Liban became apple midged and spent the final round working steadily through a stranger's account of Leeds. apple minted adj. Drunk on the strength of a fresh, herbal confidence that survives only while the bar remains open. Millie was apple minted by the second round and volunteered to lead everyone home through unfamiliar streets. apple mossed adj. Drunk since last orders, and settling into the nearest damp corner with patient, spreading stillness. Chardoney was apple mossed beside the coat rack, quietly absorbing the evening and several discarded scarves. apple mothed adj. Drunk by the third round, and drawn repeatedly towards whatever small light remains in the room. Adji went apple mothed around the bar lamps while everyone else collected their coats. apple of Adamed adj. Drunk by closing time, and displaying a conspicuous swelling at the front of the throat whenever last orders are mentioned. Zakyah was apple of Adamed by closing time, visibly swallowing the news that the bar had shut. apple of Grenadaed adj. Still drunk, and retaining the round, pomegranate-like certainty that one more seed of the evening remains. Emmelina was apple of Grenadaed on the bus, searching her handbag for the final drink that was not there. apple of Perued adj. Too drunk to distinguish a flowering plant from a useful sign pointing towards the station. Verdene was apple of Perued and asked the ornamental shrubs which platform served the city centre. apple of Sodomed (/ˈæp(ə)l əv ˈsɒdəmd/) adj. Sufficiently drunk to watch every promising plan for the evening collapse into ash upon collection. Latiara became apple of Sodomed when the taxi cancelled, the bus left, and the spare key vanished. apple of discorded (/ˈæp(ə)l əv ˈdɪskɔːdd/) adj. Having drunk enough to make the choice of coat, route, or final round a matter of rivalry. Savien went apple of discorded over the taxi destination and divided the party into competing factions.
