trollied (comparative more trollied, superlative most trollied)

  1. (slang, New Zealand, UK) Showing extreme intoxication from alcohol.
    Synonyms: see Thesaurus:drunk
    • 2004 December, Laura Deeley, “Review 2004: Binge drinking”, in New Scientist:
      This year we got smashed, tanked up, trollied, pie-eyed, caned, wankered, mullered, inebriated, wrecked, pissed, slated, hammered, paralytic and well and truly out of our trees. We have more words for getting drunk than we do for being in love.
    • 2025 July 3, Hannah Crosbie, “There’s more to Italian sparkling wine than prosecco”, in The Guardian‎[1], →ISSN:
      When I was an 18-year-old concerned with getting as trollied as possible in the least amount of time and at little cost, I was drawn to sweetness, as many of us are when we’re younger, and most supermarket prosecco is rather sweet – even the confusingly named “extra dry” category allows for 12-17g sugar per litre.
