PARTYPLEGIC

There's a never ending demand for anachronisms for being drunk, under the influence, DUI, pissed, etc, etc and the latest addition is a noun, PARTYPLEGIC meaning the total loss of lower-limb use as a result of, and not necessarily in this order, excess alcohol, drugs (prescription or other), dancing, or boredom in the case of being with people who claim to be considerably richer than YAOU!!

PARTYPLEGIC will be included in the Oxford English Dictionary within the next 18 months and is the eclipsing noun for all aspects of being unable to carry one's own weight.

To quote Wikipedia looking for the derivation of this word, the following was published under PARAPLEGIC:

"While some people with paraplegia can walk to a degree, many are dependent on wheelchairs or other supportive measures. Impotence and various degrees of urinary and fecal incontinence are very common in those affected"

It seems that this is very close to the results of PARTYPLEGIA and underlines the strength of this new addition.
