Slang for being extremely drunk or heavily intoxicated — well beyond tipsy and into a state of serious impairment. Typically used as past-tense description after the fact: "I was absolutely annihilated last night." The term implies a total loss of faculties, borrowed from its literal meaning of complete destruction. Common in informal party or bar settings, especially among younger adults. Often used with a mix of pride and self-deprecating humor.

By the time the third round of shots came around, half the group was already annihilated.
Origin: Metaphorical extension of the standard English "annihilated" (completely destroyed), applied to a person's sobriety; reflects the hyperbolic register common in intoxication slang. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.

In slang use, annihilated means extremely drunk or intoxicated, beyond wasted, to the point of near-total functional impairment. Common among younger speakers and in party contexts, often delivered with a mix of humor and horror. Sits at the extreme end of the intoxication-descriptor spectrum alongside obliterated and destroyed. The standard English sense of utterly destroyed coexists naturally alongside this slang meaning.

She came home at 3am absolutely annihilated and somehow still managed to make a full bowl of pasta.
Origin: Extended from standard English annihilate (to destroy completely); the drunk sense is hyperbolic metaphor for total incapacitation. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
