Plastered

/ˈplæstərd/ adjective

Definition

Covered thickly with a substance like plaster or mud, or slang for extremely drunk.

Etymology

From 'plaster' (from Greek 'emplastron,' a medical poultice), the verb 'to plaster' means to cover thickly. The slang meaning of 'drunk' came in the 1900s, comparing the coating of alcohol on someone's senses to being covered in plaster.

Kelly Says

The slang 'plastered' for drunk is a visual metaphor—your mind gets coated and immobilized just like a wall gets covered and hardened with plaster, showing how we describe mental states using physical materials.
