In the discussion of 'words that mean drunk', I was reminded of the Australian word 'pissed' having that meaning. One of the board trolls mentioned it as well.

This reminded me of my trip to Australia when I was a teenager. I was horribly embarrassed and almost boarded the next plane when the first night there I explained to an older quite refined lady that I did indeed root for the Chicago Bears. Not long after watching her go into shock and dismiss herself from the conversation did I learn that Aussies typically use the word 'root' as we would use that dirty 'f' word instead of the term 'have sex with'.

I guess in essence I had told the old lady that I enjoyed screwing the Chicago Bears.

Ain't dialect swell?
