Koriaked adj. Drunk, with the result that an ordinary conversation is approached as an ethnographic classification problem. Dannye became Koriaked and sorted the bar's conversations according to an invented regional scheme. Korinthianed adj. Emboldened by drink to helm the bar stool through competitive traffic towards the lavatory. Traequan became Korinthianed and steered his bar stool through the crowded room. Korintjed adj. Drunk to the extent of seasoning the final round with warm, brittle certainty about the way home. Kadelyn was Korintjed, offering cinnamon-scented directions to a house two streets away. Korkued adj. Drunk on the strength of a last round, with the journey home reduced to a distant administrative suggestion. Avrion was Korkued by closing time and left his coat in the taxi without noticing. Kornblum-DeLaMare rearrangemented adj. The drunkenness of one who converts every minor inconvenience into a ketone, an alcohol, and a publishable reaction scheme. Aliany got Kornblum-DeLaMare rearrangemented and proposed a mechanism for the missing bottle opener. Koroaed adj. Reduced by drink to a pre-settlement state of the Mississippi Valley, with the map of the evening no longer available. Tighe became Koroaed and searched the pub for a river that had never been surveyed. Korolev Crossed adj. Softened by drink into four simultaneous departures, each at right angles to the others. Arless went Korolev Crossed and left the table in four directions before reaching the lavatory. Korolev crossed adj. Sharpened by drink into a four-way launch, with every conversation departing at a precise quarter-turn. Gustavia became Korolev crossed and redirected each question towards a different person. Koroued adj. Drunk to the point where one evening acquires several names, none of them improving its prospects. Durriyah became Koroued and filed the same night under four incompatible headings. Korowaied adj. Drunk past the point of retaining ordinary domestic arrangements, and therefore inclined to regard the room as provisional. Lenabelle became Korowaied and inspected the ceiling for a more suitable place to sleep. Korsakoff's psychosised adj. Drunk beyond the point at which the previous round can be connected reliably with its consequences. Kimatha was Korsakoff's psychosised and asked why the receipt contained handwriting she recognised. Korsakoff's syndromed adj. Drunk in a way that removes the evening's recent events while leaving its confidence intact. Ava-rose was Korsakoff's syndromed and greeted the same taxi driver as a new acquaintance. Koryaked adj. Drunk to a degree that makes the nearest familiar object seem geographically remote. Zinedin was Koryaked and asked whether the pub had moved since his last visit. Korybanted adj. Drunk on the strength of rhythm alone, with the feet assuming duties formerly assigned to judgement. Kostanty became Korybanted and danced beside the jukebox until the song acquired an audience. Koryo-marred adj. Drunk since last orders, and speaking in a private dialect assembled from the evening's surviving fragments. Shaquona was Koryo-marred and required subtitles for an account of the missing umbrella. Koryo-saramed adj. Drunk by the third round, and carrying the evening's several identities with equal administrative confidence. Tao became Koryo-saramed and introduced himself under a succession of mutually compatible names.
