do people really use the word "drunktaneous" in a conversation? Just curious.

I've got kids at UF and UT and have never heard that word. It just seems so affected and over the top.

Occasionally, when you are looking for a word to define exactly how overly drunk you were, but simply saying you were drunk just doesnt cut it. drunktaneous is an excellent addition to anyones fratty vocabulary.

That has a nice little definition of it.

This one has a varied definition of it.

Yeah, its a kind of drunk where someone gets really obnoxious and often embarasses themselves.

Heh...maybe it's because they don't go around telling their mom how hammered they got last weekend?

I would have...but then again, my dad come to visit me at college when I was still underage and asked me which bar we could go to that doesn't card.

Although really, I probably have drunk as much alcohol in my entire life as many college kids do their freshman year. I like to drink every now and then, but it's just not the be-all-to-end-all that some college underclassmen see it as.

For my freshman dorm room, my mom bought me a blender so I could make margaritas. I was 21 (almost 22 - I started school late) and she knew no alcohol was allowed in the dorms.

She didn't come visit that often, but when she did, that was usually about the only time it got used.

Hm...where I am from if we are with our parent, we can drink legally at 18.

I don't think that's the case in Illinois. I don't think you could even get a tattoo WITH parental permission until you were 21.

What country are you in? I ask because, that is not true anywhere in the United States. There may be places that don't card you if you're with a parent, but that doesn't mean it is legal.

As for rush mistakes, never make fun of an active, even if you're just messing around and you think they're your friend. Because even if they do give you a bid, it will come back to bite you in a few months. One of my pledge brothers found this out the hard way.

FSUZeta · #14 02-03-2008, 02:24 PM

You're probably right, although I sometimes infer more than they think they are implying. Picture mom with fingers in ears saying "lalalalal, I'm not hearing you!"

I'll have to brush up on my lingo - but I still think some of those things listed under the definitions are a tad ridiculous, albeit funny (and when you are older, you'll cringe at the thought that you spoke that way). But that's all part of aging.
