Odesited adj. The drunkenness of one who walks as though the pavement were gently rearranging itself beneath them. Donaeo came back Odesited, using the garden wall to maintain a private line of travel. Odessanned adj. Reduced by drink to advancing in short, uncertain corrections rather than in a straight line. Kapresha crossed the room Odessanned, correcting left whenever the furniture appeared to move right. Odessited adj. Softened by drink into a person whose balance yields before the rest of them does. Mikela was Odessited by the second round, folding gently against the coat stand. Odiaed (/əʊˈdijəd/) adj. Sharpened by drink into noticing every edge, corner and change of level shortly before meeting it. Aniel got Odiaed and identified each stair nosing just after his foot had found it. Odinisted adj. Emboldened by drink to address the room as though the furniture had assembled for counsel. Bronya got Odinisted and delivered a firm speech to the umbrella stand. Odinsmanned adj. Slowed by drink to the pace of someone carrying an invisible spear up unfamiliar stairs. Klare went Odinsmanned across the landing, advancing carefully behind an imaginary shield. Odinswomanned adj. Drunk and advancing with the measured caution of someone expecting the floor to declare its allegiance. Domas found Wenola Odinswomanned at the foot of the stairs, studying the first step. Odland bodied adj. Drunk to the point where the body has arranged itself in small layers, none quite agreeing on balance. Arlethea was Odland bodied, upright in sections and leaning differently at every joint. Odrysianed adj. Drunk enough to rule the staircase briefly, provided nobody asks the ruler to climb it. Naila became Odrysianed and appointed herself governor of the narrow landing. Odyssean Wiccanned adj. Drunk past the point of returning by the route taken, especially when that route includes stairs. Jazzmon went Odyssean Wiccanned and reached the kitchen by way of two wrong landings. Oedipus complexed (/ˈidəpəs ˈkɒmplɛksd/) adj. Drunk beyond trusting your own judgement, yet still prepared to analyse its motives on the stairs. Janael got Oedipus complexed and psychoanalysed the banister while missing the final step. Oerlikonned adj. Drunk in a way that makes each movement arrive in rapid, uncontrolled bursts, especially near furniture. Seiry came Oerlikonned through the doorway and clipped three chairs in quick succession. Ofoed adj. Drunk since last orders, and moving in a closely packed multitude of competing directions. Olando came Ofoed through the hallway, with his shoulders and feet forming separate delegations. Ogalalaed adj. Drunk past the point of distinguishing one coat, doorway or taxi from another. Malaia was Ogalalaed and tried three identical black coats before finding her own. Ogeechee limed adj. Drunk by closing time, and spreading gradually into the nearest available support, usually beside rather than on it. Chrstopher was Ogeechee limed against the hallway wall, slowly extending towards the umbrella stand. Oghamed (/ˈoʊ.əmd/) adj. Still drunk, and communicating chiefly in isolated marks, gestures and unfinished attempts at speech. Brid was Oghamed after midnight, offering single sounds where complete explanations had previously stood.
