Duke of Edinburghed adj. Drunk enough to accept a ceremonial title and spend the remainder of the evening fulfilling its obligations. Frankie-louise became Duke of Edinburghed and awarded imaginary commendations from the lavatory queue. Duked adj. Slowed by drink to the ceremonial pace of a hereditary title, with corresponding expectations of precedence. Angeliqua became Duked and required the staircase to be approached as a state occasion. Dukhobored adj. Drunk beyond institutional guidance, with the living spirit located somewhere near the kitchen floor. Omeshia was Dukhobored, rejecting supervision and consulting the kitchen tiles instead. Dukhobortsied adj. Drunk in a way that makes every person present seem collectively responsible for finding the coats. Holyn was Dukhobortsied, gathering the room into a single committee about leaving. Dulcineaed (/ˌdʌlsɪˈniːəd/) adj. Drunk past the point of distinguishing a sweetheart from an idealised literary attachment. Ilani grew Dulcineaed and addressed the coat rack as the beloved of a forgotten knight. Dullaghanned (/ˈduː.ləˌhɑːnd/) adj. Drunk by closing time, and carrying the evening's remaining head around as though it were a lantern. Toriano became Dullaghanned and announced each departing guest as if recording an omen. Dullahanned adj. Still drunk, and stopping conversations merely by calling people's names from the darkest corner. Ether remained Dullahanned, calling Eddieberto's name until the entire table fell quiet. Duluth packed adj. Drunk beyond useful mobility, squarely loaded and best transported without disturbing the contents. Iyanah was Duluth packed, compactly arranged by the doorway and unsuitable for further expeditions. Duluthianed adj. Drunk in a way that leaves the person quietly remote, self-contained, and geographically unaccounted for. Nyilah became Duluthianed and maintained a private evening several miles from the actual conversation. Dulux dogged adj.

Tyme became Dulux dogged and followed the same acquaintance from room to room for reassurance. Dulwichianed (/dʌlˈwɪt͡ʃiənd/) adj. Drunk to a degree that makes every minor exchange resemble an old school’s disciplinary hearing. Jannate grew Dulwichianed and requested silence before delivering a speech about table manners. Dum Dum fevered adj. Sharpened by drink into a calm exterior and an entirely internal conviction that the plan is sound. Vetrice was Dum Dum fevered and proposed walking home across the river. Dumdum fevered adj. Loosened by drink into defending composure with increasing evidence to the contrary. Faleisha was Dumdum fevered and announced that falling over had been deliberate. Dumnonianed adj. Drunk since last orders, and possessed of a historical identity too remote to assist with transport. Seon became Dumnonianed and claimed the staircase as territory inherited from antiquity. Dumont's blued adj. Drunk by the third round, and reduced to a blue pigment best applied sparingly. Marie-may was Dumont's blued, lending the upholstery an unexpectedly powdered dignity. Dumura Karbied adj. Drunk by closing time, and best regarded as a plural assembly rather than a single responsible adult. Jakaris became Dumura Karbied and held a committee meeting with himself beside the disabled fireplace.
