Tavera was Celticnessed by ten, carrying herself with an unmistakable property that nobody present could put into words. Celtificationed adj. Of a drinker who has converted the commonplace into heritage, beginning with the pub napkin. Jaqueline became Celtificationed and described the folded napkin as a surviving tradition. Celtismed adj. Drunk beyond the point where ancient customs seem binding, particularly upon everyone else. Mubarik became Celtismed and insisted the table observe an entirely undocumented drinking rite. Celtisted adj. Drunk in a way that prompts unsolicited lectures on Celtic languages to people trying to leave. Melody got Celtisted and explained a Celtic inscription to the barman twice.

Dexter was Celtomaniacked and gave Delaili a ceremonial role in the queue for taxis. Celtomaniaed (/ˌkɛltəʊˈmeɪniəd/) adj. Drunk on the strength of an enthusiasm for Celts that grows less historical with every round. Iyeisha turned Celtomaniaed and attributed the pub carpet to an ancient Celtic tradition.

Rekesha got Celtophiled and discussed Celtic culture with a stranger studying the dessert menu. Celtophobed adj. Drunk by closing time, and objecting to Celtic peoples with a conviction unsupported by the conversation. Dezlyn became Celtophobed and made the entire table abandon an otherwise harmless quiz question. Celtophobiaed adj. Still drunk, and turning an otherwise ordinary discussion into an objection to Celtic peoples. Sindhura was Celtophobiaed, so the table retired every Celtic reference before pudding.

A drinker who has acquired a horse's means of travel and a man's certainty about the route. Leanndra was Centaured, striding towards the taxi rank with misplaced confidence. Centaurianed adj.
