Now for the theme this week: Being a drunkard.
Another word that has been lost in Modern English is besott. It comes from the Old English word sott, which meant a habitual drunkard. This sounds like an incredible insult for others. Instead of trying calling someone stupid, you can instead say that their parents must have besotted them. It will only prove your point when someone does not understand the word besott.
