Hollyjollyhammered<\/strong>: \/hall-ee-jaw-lee-ham-erd<\/em>\/ He was so hollyjollyhammered that he offered to grace everyone at the office Christmas party with his heavenly voice and sing a Christmas tune – it was an amalgamation of Silent Night, Little Drummer Boy, and Take This Job and Shove It. Etymology:<\/em> Hollyjolly (as in the Christmas spirit) + hammered (drunk, wasted) Created by:<\/em> remistram.<\/p>\n

Sherrychristmased<\/strong>: \/sher ree kris mast<\/em>\/ Nick had already been to five other homes on the block for his annual walkabout on Christmas Eve. Sampling nibblies and good cheer, by house #6, The Bailey’s, he was plastered. Since he only did this at Yuletime, he arrived sherrychristmased. Luckily, the Bailey’s knew him well enough to lay him out on the spare bed until either Christmas, sobriety or alcoholic poisoning happened. It would not be the first time that the Bailey children would think that Nick, in his Santa suit, was the real thing…in fact he was often the topic of the next show and tell… Etymology:<\/em> Sherry (fortified wine, drunk as an aperitif) & Wordplay on “Merry Christmas” Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n

Securitiddly<\/strong>: \/si-cure-uh-tid-uh-lee<\/em>\/ After several bottles of wine, Sarah finally felt securitiddly enough to face her colleagues at the annual office drinks. Etymology:<\/em> security + tiddly Created by:<\/em> Carla.<\/p>\n

Festibuzz<\/strong>: \/fest\u00c9\u2122b\u00c9\u2122z<\/em>\/ Lew was nervous about going to his first office \u00e2\u20ac\u009dHoliday\u00e2\u20ac\u009d party. He had only had this job for two weeks and hardly knew anybody. All that changed when he arrived sporting an elf costume and a raging festibuzz. The outfit might have been forgiven, the pickling perhaps but kissing Mr. Bossypants full on the lips, maybe not. Strangely when he arrived for work on Monday Lew\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s security badge didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem to work on the entry door and a box with his personal stuff was sitting on the curb. Etymology:<\/em> festival (an annual celebration) + buzz (intoxication) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n
