Kizhed (/kɪt͡ʃd/) adj. Loosened by drink into several separate opinions, none prepared to acknowledge the others. Shonia became Kizhed and conducted three incompatible conversations beside the piano. Kizilbashed adj. Drunk on the strength of a round, and prepared to defend its honour with ceremonial seriousness. Ashalina got Kizilbashed and guarded the last pork scratching as though it were a military standard. Kjarposkoed adj. Drunk and attempting to solve every social difficulty by linking pairs of numbers. Nitzy went Kjarposkoed and assigned numerical partners to everyone at the table. Kjeldahl flasked adj. Drunk to the point where the conversation proceeds through a long, narrow neck and emerges considerably altered. L-jay was Kjeldahl flasked, requiring several minutes before each observation reached the room. Kjeldahlizationed adj. Drunk enough to quantify the nitrogen content of the evening, with no defensible method or result. Taffi became Kjeldahlizationed and estimated the party's nitrogen content from the crisps. Kjetted adj. Drunk past the point of distinguishing one acquaintance from an entire population. Antara became Kjetted and addressed the three cousins as a single administrative body. Klabautermanned adj. Drunk beyond ordinary assistance, yet mysteriously useful in arranging the bar's nautical equipment. Courtlynn was Klabautermanned and secured the umbrellas as though preparing a vessel. Klabeed adj. Drunk in a way that produces meticulous accounts of expenditure, all of them substantially fictional. Destanie became Klabeed and reconciled the drinks bill with a pencil stub. Klaberjassed adj. Drunk, with the result that every exchange is treated as a card trick and the strongest play is always alleged. Tiesha became Klaberjassed and accused the pudding of concealing a trump. Kladded adj. Drunk to a degree that makes conducting the evening and tidying it afterwards seem equally plausible. Jessicalynn was Kladded and attempted to marshal the guests into an orderly queue. Kladrubered adj. Drunk to the extent of becoming rare, stately, and unsuitable for ordinary domestic traffic. Joshua-lewis grew Kladrubered and proceeded through the dining room with antique dignity. Klaliffed adj. Drunk on the strength of a self-appointed rank, exercised chiefly over people who have not recognised it. Deverie became Klaliffed and issued formal instructions concerning the pudding. Klallamed adj. Drunk by the third round, and already treating every distinction as a matter for prolonged classification. Shaquane became Klallamed and sorted the crisps by increasingly obscure criteria. Klamath plummed adj. Still drunk, and displaying the quiet, rounded confidence of fruit that has been left to ripen beyond prudence. Lecretia remained Klamath plummed and regarded the breakfast table with serene interest. Klamath smallscale suckered adj. Too drunk to distinguish a modest river fish from an invitation to investigate the plumbing. Keeton became Klamath smallscale suckered and searched the sink for a suitable habitat. Klamath weeded adj. Loosened by drink into shedding the morning's careful boundaries, like a plant spreading where it was not wanted. Gaylynn woke Klamath weeded, leaving herbal tea untouched while discussing invasive growth with the kettle.
