Scottish and Tyneside slang for being extremely drunk — not just tipsy, but comprehensively, embarrassingly hammered. Mortalled implies the kind of drunk where you're barely functional, possibly sliding down walls or needing friends to navigate you home. It's a vivid, punchy word that perfectly captures a night that got well out of hand, and it's warmly familiar to anyone who's spent time in Newcastle or Edinburgh pub culture.
By the third bar we were absolutely mortalled and somehow ended up eating chips on the pavement at 2am.
