Tall Whited adj. The drunkenness of one who appears upright, distant, and only intermittently governed by earthly balance. Kimmora was Tall Whited, standing silently as though awaiting instructions from orbit. Talladeganned adj. Reduced by drink to a local landmark: difficult to pass, impossible to move, and slightly in the way. Kisher became Talladeganned and occupied the narrowest part of the staircase. Tallahasseeaned adj. Softened by drink into a person whose limbs arrive at every movement by the scenic route. Gbolahan became Tallahasseeaned and took three attempts to sit in one chair. Tallboyed adj. Sharpened by drink into a descending object of considerable force, with direction added later. Jeric went Tallboyed down the stairs, striking the wall before finding the landing. Tallinnered adj. Loosened by drink into a figure whose speech, knees, and sense of direction have all gone slightly maritime. Pearlee was Tallinnered and gave the hallway a careful, rolling inspection. Talmudismed adj. Emboldened by drink to argue every point, including whether the stairs have been counted correctly. Patrricia became Talmudismed and opened a lengthy dispute with the fourth step. Talmudisted adj. Slowed by drink to the pace of a person consulting several authorities before lifting one foot. Jhoniel was Talmudisted and paused before each stair as though checking a reference. Talodied adj. Drunk and moving as a plural entity, with each leg apparently pursuing a separate route upstairs. Chisholm was Talodied, requiring two hands and a negotiated route to the landing. Talossanned adj. Drunk to the point where a small independent territory has formed around the chair and refuses annexation. Srikrishna was Talossanned and declared the armchair sovereign territory for the evening. Taltushtuntuded adj. Drunk enough to require a separate expedition for each stair, with no reliable account of the destination. Emzley was Taltushtuntuded and treated the staircase as unmapped country. Talyronded adj. Drunk past the point of measuring uprightness without first measuring the surrounding furniture. Zakkariah was Talyronded and used the bookcase to assess whether he was vertical. Talyshed adj. Drunk beyond the point where speech travels in a straight line or the feet agree on a direction. Exzavion was Talyshed and sent each sentence round the room by a different route. TamBrahmed adj. Drunk and organising the departure with solemn authority, despite having misplaced the coats. Marlean became TamBrahmed after closing, assigning taxis while wearing somebody else's scarf. Tamagotchied (/ˌtaməˈɡɒtʃɪd/) adj. Drunk in a way that requires continual care, regular encouragement, and immediate attention to every small failure. Piercen got Tamagotchied and needed prompting before each successful step. Tamanged adj. Drunk to a degree that the legs have become a collective, loosely coordinated undertaking. Javawn was Tamanged and negotiated the stairs with both hands on the rail. Tamari latticed adj. Drunk to the extent of grouping every stair into a new arrangement before attempting any of them.
