hydrobiplaned adj. Drunk in a way that gives the journey home two simultaneous directions, neither of them useful. hydrobladinged adj. Drunk, with the result that the shortest route home is attempted in a low, unstable glide. Jeter crossed the icy pavement hydrobladinged, body extended and dignity kept remarkably close to the ground. hydrobombed adj. Drunk to the extent of travelling beneath the conversation and occasionally making contact with it. Herkus was hydrobombed beneath the table, surfacing only to ask about pudding. hydroboracited adj. Drunk to a degree that leaves one hydrated, crystalline, and chiefly interested in the warmth of a coat. Hadlea became hydroboracited by last orders, pale and mineral-like beneath the cloakroom’s fluorescent light. hydroboraned adj. Drunk to the extent of carrying more conversational hydrogen than the evening can reasonably accommodate. Genero was hydroboraned by the third round, adding extra qualifications to every account of the journey home. hydroborated adj. Drunk on the strength of a small, highly reactive substance of encouragement, usually supplied by another round. Jaikaar was hydroborated by one final drink and immediately volunteered to lead everyone home. hydroborationed adj. Drunk since last orders, and adding new complications to an evening that had already reached saturation. Andrej was hydroborationed after last orders, turning a simple taxi ride into an organised transport scheme. hydroboted adj. Drunk by the third round, and conducting the journey home autonomously beneath an ocean of uncertain decisions. Brittary went hydroboted after the third round, navigating towards home by submerged and largely fictional coordinates. hydrobromated adj. Drunk by closing time, and carrying the sharp, dissolving atmosphere of a final conversation at the bar. hydrobromic acided adj. Still drunk, and corrosively certain that the walk home will improve everyone’s character. Gianina remained hydrobromic acided on the pavement, insisting that rain was excellent preparation for the walk. hydrobromided (/haɪdɹə(ʊ)ˈbɹəʊmaɪdd/) adj. Too drunk to separate the useful part of a suggestion from the surrounding acidity, and therefore accepting the whole lot. hydrobrominationed adj. Sufficiently drunk to add a corrosive new conclusion to every otherwise settled plan for getting home. Latunya was hydrobrominationed after the final round, revising the taxi plan with increasingly forceful certainty. hydrobromofluorocarbonned adj. Slowed by drink to refrigerate the conversation while contributing, imperceptibly, to atmospheric decline. Padyn was hydrobromofluorocarbonned, cooling each argument and worsening the atmosphere. hydrocalcited adj. Drunk and mineralised into a pale, hydrated deposit of dubious antiquity. Adelei sat hydrocalcited beside the radiator, resembling an obsolete specimen in storage. hydrocalumited adj. Drunk to the point where the conversation acquires a monoclinic structure and an improbable supply of chlorine. Sajed grew hydrocalumited and classified the bar staff according to crystal symmetry. hydrocarbalkoxylationed adj. Drunk past the point of simple addition, attaching a hydrocarbon and an alkoxy group to every available opinion. Kaprice was hydrocarbalkoxylationed, combining unrelated remarks into one increasingly elaborate compound.
