Is this French slang for drunk/stoned (lit?) --Connel MacKenzie 10:36, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- As far as I know, it’s an Anglicism. I’ve never heard allumé used to mean drunk or stoned before. —Stephen 17:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- I've never heard it, either; I think it might be heavily dated slang. The digitized Trésor de la Langue Française (TLFi) includes as a sub-sub-sub-sub-sense (sub-sense of the figurative sub-sense of the light-related sub-sense of the adjective sub-sense):
- Arg. [Slang], pop. [native] ,,Échauffé par le vin.`` ["Heated by wine"] (LARCH. 1880 [i.e., the def was taken from an 1880 source])
- and gives a cite from 1887.
