Several dancers have told me they talked their way out of DUIs, with the cop letting them call a friend to give them a ride. I’m skeptical, but it is a big crazy world out there, and there are obvious advantages to being hot and slutty
Who else here uses the word "hammered" to describe someone shitfaced? I always assumed it was just Boston area slang, as in "we got fuhkin hammihd and wrecked the cah."
Ski: "Hammered" was common vernacular for shitfaced where I grew up in the midwest, and is also a familiar term in Philadelphia, so I assume it's universal
Studme: In Florida, most police bodycam footage is considered a "public record" and therefore freely accessible. There are competing policies at play. On the one hand, it theoretically serves as a check against police misconduct (assuming they have the camera on). On the other hand, as you note, it can be intrusive. Somewhat different situation, but after I was picked up for DUI a few years back, the prosecutor gave my lawyer a thumb drive of bodycam footage of my field sobriety tests, which my lawyer gave to me. I threw it in the trash without even looking at it. I had no doubt there was probable cause for my arrest, even though I'm pretty sure I didn't call any LEOs "daddy"
Around here the term hammered to mean very drunk is common.
I would have nothing to do with that girl in that state, but if she wasn't so drunk I might talk to her. But that sorta drunkenness better not be normal, I got no time for dealing with that shit on the regular.
Manuella - I still suspect the cops put that video out there - fucking assholes. They should let people save face. A fine, suspended / revoked DL - that’s the penalty for DUI, not public humiliation. And they wonder why some people don’t like cops.
Chicago, New Orleans, Fort Myer. Springfield (IL) and beyond, "hammered" is a common dysphemism for intoxicated.
It is not hard, when on the job, to ignore any kind of obnoxious, over-the-top flirting when it is blatantly insincere. I agree that it was funny to watch her, but disturbingly voyeuristic. Sharing her full name, instagram, etc. was unnecessary and intrusive, and I have to wonder what recourse she might have for compensation.
Not sure if this still holds true, but when I was in college 40+ years ago it was “shitfaced”
I spent a summer doing field work in the Rocky Mountains with college students from all around the country. You knew who the kids from the Grest Lakes states (Michigan, Ohio. Indiana) were. We were the only ones who played Euchre and used shitfaced.
terms like shitfaced, plastered, wasted, blasted, borracho and hammered have been around a long time. I've heard other ones but I can't think of them at the moment...

last commentOn a normal day you bet your ass. But that girl was clearly hammered.

I don't know if I could ever walk at .318. Maybe it's superpower from walking in heels a lot.
