Etymology
The word 'trollied' is derived from 'trolley', which in British slang is used to describe being in a state somewhat dazed or confused, similar to someone who has just been on a ride. This slang usage likely evolved in the mid-20th century among the youth and pub-goers in the UK. It subsequently became associated with feelings of inebriation, capturing the euphoric and dizzying effects of nightlife, particularly involving alcohol. As with many colloquial terms, the usage of 'trollied' has shifted over time, reflecting changes in social attitudes towards drinking and partying. Today, it encapsulates both a playful warning about excess and an acknowledgment of the merriment associated with such states.
