Etymology

The term 'blitzed' emerged in the mid-20th century and is derived from the word 'blitz,' which means a sudden, intense military attack. The term was popularized in the context of social drinking and partying, where people would engage in a 'blitz' of drinking, leading to a state of intoxication. The informal use of 'blitzed' started to appear in various subcultures and eventually found its way into mainstream slang. It encapsulates a sense of urgency and short-lived excess, mirroring the original military terminology. Over time, 'blitzed' has evolved to encompass more than just alcohol consumption; it describes any situation where an individual feels overwhelmed or inundated, such as being blitzed by information or tasks. Today, it is commonly used in various English-speaking cultures, reflecting both its roots in intensifying experiences and its more general application in casual conversation.
