(Ireland, Scotland, slang) very drunk, intoxicated.

Origin: . The ending -ious appears to be a mock-Latinate jocular formation. Suggestions for the initial sto- or stot- include: * Arbitrary * From an unidentified Irish word ** David Crystal doubtfully suggests "pitcher" or "stoup". * Tony Thorne suggests "a dialect word meaning waterlogged or muddy" (?) Green distinguishes this word from stocious, Caribbean slang for "stylish; good-looking; arrogant", a corruption of ostentatious.
