Talk:arfarfanarf

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Supposedly a Cockney term, originating in the late 1800s to early 1900s, meaning 'half, half and half': that is, that someone has had too much "arf an' arf", half porter and half ale, and is now 50% alcohol. It means "extremely drunk", in other words, or "someone who is extremely drunk". Unfortunately, it isn't attestable... hence I banished it to this talk page! - -sche (discuss) 03:06, 3 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Noun and adjective. I see one Groups use for the adjective, no Books. Neither for the noun.​—msh210 (talk) 19:39, 6 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

I hope this passes, because it's just too funny to be deleted! —CodeCat 19:43, 6 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
