mortal
Absolutely steaming drunk.
Definitions
Hammered. Paralytic. Can't-find-your-own-front-door drunk. The Geordie default for a proper night out — past tipsy, past merry, all the way to mortal. Geordie Shore did its best to export the word nationally.
Standard English sense — relating to death, or simply a human being. Still used in serious registers ('mortal danger', 'we are all mortal') but in Geordie the drunk sense dominates daily speech.
