What does "maggoted" mean in Australian slang?
In Australian slang, "maggoted" means extremely drunk or heavily intoxicated, typically to the point of being unable to function properly. It is used in informal Australian English, especially in social drinking contexts such as pubs, parties, and nights out, to describe severe levels of intoxication. The term developed through Australian colloquial speech as an exaggerated form of being "full" or "drunk," using "maggot" metaphorically to suggest being in a degraded or collapsed state. It is mainly used in casual, often humorous or blunt descriptions of drunkenness.
Examples
He was completely maggoted after the party.
