What does BLOTTO mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Britishslang
Extremely and often comically drunk, to the point of losing coordination or awareness.
Blotto describes drunkenness pushed past ordinary tipsiness into total incapacity, the stage where a person can barely stand or speak clearly. The word first appeared in early twentieth-century British slang and still carries a light, joking tone rather than a clinical or disapproving one. It works well in casual storytelling because a single word does the job that would otherwise take a longer phrase like completely drunk. Blotto is typically used about a person rather than about drinks or drinking in general.
