Kisky is a compact, old-school slang word meaning drunk — the kind of quietly blitzed that sneaks up on you over a long evening. It doesn't have the drama of hammered or the comedy of sloshed, but there's something almost affectionate about it. You'd describe someone as kisky when they're past tipsy but still holding a conversation, however wobbly. A useful word to revive for anyone who feels the existing drunk vocabulary is overworked.
After four pints of that strong cider he was absolutely kisky, singing to himself in the corner.
