drunk as a cunt: new section ← Older revision | Revision as of 20:05, 29 June 2011 | Line 3,944: | Line 3,944: | | :This is not an adverb. It is a simple fused-head nominal construction, with the omitted noun potentially being anything. The idiom is that, in the absence of strong contrary context, the omitted noun is {{term|drink||a portion of an alcoholic beverage}}. It is also often an example of {{term|meiosis}} as the excess quantity is often more than one. It is euphemistic. The same analysis would apply to [[a few too many]], except it is less meiotic. OTOH, the idiomatic usage may only rarely occur except after a form of {{term|have}} so it should perhaps be moved to [[[[have one too many]]]] (and [[[[have a few too many]]]] be added).
