Language Lessons 3 - Drinking

Drunken antics! Here is where our two countries are generally the same. In Britain, drunken behaviour usually leads to an embarrassing moment with a female in a bar following a corny pick up line, followed by screaming at the guy that just bumped into you, threatening to "rip his fookin' head off!". The night then culminates with munching on a kebab.

There is something very amusing about being drunk, in that it affects your speech and language in new and interesting ways. Strange that even after you have downed many drinks, you still believe that you can hold a normal conversation with the person next to you. At the time, you feel you are engaged in a stimulating and interactive conversation with your friend, when in reality, you are shouting expletives at them whilst you have them in a head lock saying "I f*ckin love you man!"

So the next time you are out with your friends, as you descend further into your alcoholic stupor, see if you can muster enough semblance of order in your brain for these:

DIFFICULT WORDS TO SAY WHEN YOU ARE DRUNK:
* Specificity
* Indubitably
* Innovative
* Preliminary
* Proliferation
* Cinnamon

IMPOSSIBLE WORDS TO SAY WHEN YOU ARE DRUNK:
* No, I don't want another drink.
* No kebab for me thank you.
* Sorry, but you're not good looking enough for me.
* Good evening officer.
* I am not Interested in fighting you.
* No one wants to hear me sing.
* Thanks, but I don't want sex.
