Meaning "to wobble around in a sinusoidal fashion while inebriated" Also note that back in circa 1400 "to be splindered" means to be "completely drunk". For example the famous prose: "When in April the sweet showers fall That pierce March's drought to the root and all And bathed every vein in liquor that has power He got splindered on a whiskey sour" | |
