Australian slang for being extremely drunk or heavily intoxicated — so far gone you're basically decomposing.
Australian slang for being extremely drunk or heavily intoxicated — so far gone you're basically decomposing. The term takes something deeply unpleasant (being infested with maggots) and applies it as colourful hyperbole for the state of being completely wrecked. It sits alongside other great Australian drunk synonyms like 'hammered', 'plastered', and 'off your face', but with extra graphic emphasis. Outside Australia, it also literally means partially eaten by maggots, or figuratively, rotten.
