“I’m sweating like a glassblower’s arse.”
Alan Parks, Bobby March Will Live Forever

Mark Forsyth
“The standard modern measurement for inebriation is the Ose system. This has been considerably developed over the years, but the common medical consensus currently has jocose, verbose, morose, bellicose, lachrymose, comatose, adios.

This is a workable but incomplete system, as it fails to take in otiose (meaning impractical) which comes just after jocose. Nor does it have grandiose preceding bellicose. And how they managed to miss out globose (amorphous or formless) before comatose is beyond me.”
Mark Forsyth, The Horologicon: A Day's Jaunt Through the Lost Words of the English Language
