גָּמוּר, מַסְטוּל
This one's for Ilana in NYC.
While some refrain from excessive celebration on פּוּרִים (poo-REEM), others... just go for it.
Once they've done so, many of them find themselves passed out on the couch.
One might point to him and say, הוּא גָּמוּר לְגַמְרֵי (hoo gah-MOOR leh-GAHM-reh - slang pronunciation) - he's totally gone (i.e., he is passed out). For a female, it's גְּמוּרָה (geh-moo-RAH). Literally, these words mean done or finished.
Or, one might point to her and say הִיא מַסְטוּלָה (hee mahs-TOO-lah) - she's out of it. For a male, it's מַסְטוּל (mahs-TOOL). This word is borrowed from Arabic and means intoxicated or bewildered.
Stay safe this פורים... and have fun!
