So who doesn't want to learn more American or Canadian English slang? Probably everybody. Here are my favourite things that you might want to use at a party or to describe a party. Number one: party animal. This is a person that loves to party every Friday night, every Saturday night, maybe Tuesday night, and Thursday night. They're going to a party, they're drinking lots, they're talking, they're always having fun at parties. Here's an example sentence. You could say, "Oh, my sister is such a party animal," or, "My ex-boyfriend was such a party animal but i didn't like it so we broke up" because maybe you didn't like to party but he liked to party and he was a party animal so that's why you broke up. Number two, this is how you describe someone who's had way too much to drink. You could say they're wasted. They've drunk so many alcoholic drinks. They've had too many beers too many glasses of wine and you could say, "That guy—he's very drunk," or, "I got wasted last night. I had too many drinks last night." Number three, these words you could use to describe anything that was really, really fun or really, really great. The two words are epic and rad. I really like these words a lot so you could say, "That party was epic." That means that the party was amazing or very, very fun. Or, you could say, "That party was so rad," which means the party was great or you had a really good time at the party. This one is also related: a blast. So if someone says, "How was the party?" You could say, "I had a blast." That means I had a really fun time. If you had a party you could say "I hope everybody had a blast at my party." All right, so this one, you know, sometimes at a party some people have had way too much to drink and maybe this person is like sleeping on your couch or at a restaurant they're just kind of like sleeping under the table, whatever, something like that. You could say that person is passed out or blacked out. It's not good. It's very very bad actually because your friends or your boyfriend or girlfriend will have to help you get home. You cannot go home by yourself because you're just kind of like sleeping and you've had so much to drink. So you could say, I blacked out last night. I can't remember what happened at that party." Or, "My boyfriend is passed out over there. I'm so embarrassed." Something like that. All right, the next one. This is at a party with illegal drugs, not alcohol. Maybe there's also alcohol but this is involving drugs. For example, marijuana or cocaine. I don't know, I don't want to list them all but you maybe know them so this is how you describe someone who's been taking illegal drugs. You could say they are high or stoned. You could say, "Last night, I got so high. It means that you smoked so much marijuana. Or, you could say, "She's so stoned. she's acting very crazy." Something like that.
