negative pledged adj. Drunk enough to promise that no other creditor, pub or taxi shall rank ahead of the present one. Jenessis became negative pledged and refused to let the late-night café outrank the bar. negative poled adj. Drunk beyond the point of walking southwards, whatever direction the signposts indicate. Honey-mae went negative poled and followed the magnetic pull of a pub instead of the station. negative pregnanted adj. Drunk in a way that denies only the qualification, leaving the affirmative story of the evening plainly intact. Evaleen went negative pregnanted, denying drinking on duty while admitting everything else by implication. negative pressured adj. Reduced by drink to a state in which everything outside presses inward, and the drinker is visibly smaller than when they arrived. Raulin went negative pressured around midnight, slowly compressing into his coat while the party continued around him. negative priminged adj. Drunk to a degree that makes the previous round actively discourage recognition of the next one. Kamareon was negative priminged, recoiling from each drink that resembled the last. negative proofed adj. Drunk to the extent of declaring the taxi absent because nobody has proved that it is present. Eustolio went negative proofed and rejected the waiting taxi for lack of evidence that it existed. negative raisinged adj. Drunk on the strength of implying the opposite while apparently denying a modest claim about leaving. Jerrimiah became negative raisinged and denied that leaving early was a possibility. negative reinforcemented adj. Drunk since last orders, and repeating the behaviour whenever removing the discouraging stimulus makes it easier. Kiaja was negative reinforcemented, ordering another round whenever the coat began to feel restrictive. negative resolutioned adj. Drunk by the third round, and allowing the evening's remaining decisions to pass automatically unless actively annulled. Kwali went negative resolutioned and let the table approve another round without a vote. negative side waterproofinged adj. Drunk by closing time, and keeping the drink on one side while the pressure of going home builds on the other. Dantavis became negative side waterproofinged, holding the bar against the pressure of the rain outside. negative spaced adj. Still drunk, and chiefly occupying the spaces around the coat, the table and the people trying to leave. Sophi remained negative spaced, visible mainly in the gaps between departing coats. negative theologied adj. Too drunk to define the evening positively, describing the pub only by what it is not. Nazyiah went negative theologied and explained the route home entirely through places it was not. negative transferred adj. Sufficiently drunk to import the grammar of another language into every attempt to order a taxi. Jasim became negative transferred and translated the last round directly into the syntax of his childhood. negative utilitarianed adj. Having drunk enough to minimise suffering by ending the evening, preferably before anyone orders another round. Toshi became negative utilitarianed and escorted everyone home to reduce the evening's remaining suffering. negative utilitarianismed adj. Having drunk more than happiness can justify, and seeking only to reduce the suffering of the journey home. Shakeba went negative utilitarianismed and chose the quietest route rather than the shortest. negative verbed adj. You have drunk enough to make negation do all the grammatical work, including ordering another round. Kendan got negative verbed and said he did not not want the final round.
