Squiffy

Squiffy's a marvellous word, I wish everyone would say it, but the only people who say it nowadays are people who've seen An Inspector Calls. So if someone accuses you of being drunk tonight, tell them you're not drunk, you're squiffy! We'll bring it back into use yet!

I'm never squiffy, I'm a good girl, I am! (ahem)

Still, you're right, it's a good word, but I generally tend to say p****d (very ladylike).

Miss Edith People don't fall in love with what's right in front of them. People want the dream -- what they can't have. The more unattainable, the more attractive. --Xander
