Neologism 6: Hammer-faced

I'll let you figure out which two term meanings this word captures, but essentially it means very, very drunk. Hopefully it seems strange for me to use this word, but I still decided to include it since it is, to my knowledge, a fairly new term. One of my friends was explaining this word to me. It is amazing how many words have been created to express the concept of being drunk. My suspicion would be that people are drunk when they create these new terms for being drunk. Otherwise, they would probably choose one of the existing terms that means the same thing, but then again, creating new words can be fun. At least now I know that it doesn't have anything to do with grotesque murder.
