English[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
Verb[edit]
trollied
- simple past and past participle of trolley
Etymology 2[edit]
Originally a slang term among students. Trolleys in supermarkets are notorious for having at least one dodgy wheel so they wobble, hence the description. Not necessarily a student term but certainly a working class term.
Adjective[edit]
trollied (comparative more trollied, superlative most trollied)

- THIS year we got smashed, tanked up, trollied, pie-eyed, caned, wankered, mullered, inebriated, wrecked, pissed, slated, hammered, paralytic and well and truly out of our trees. We have more words for getting drunk than we do for being in love.
