1. British very drunk. A popular word

among students, younger members of the armed forces and other heavy drink- ers from the 1960s to the present. The image is of someone disgustingly or help- lessly drunk, as in the expression 'pissed as an arsehole'; but the term is neutral, not usually pejorative, and is used by all social classes.

'Once a month he gets completely arse- holed and then comes home and asks me to forgive him.'(Recorded, housewife, Devon, 1986)
