Hammished

1) I found the words 'hammered' and 'famished' on the front of an old Men's Health magazine I found at my mom's house. I will bring these words together to form the word 'hammished'.

2) Hammished will be defined as the phenomenon of contracting boundless hunger after one becomes inebriated.

3) I used this word with family, friends, and online liberally.

4) My family and friends thought it was pretty funny, as it is a situation that many of them have experienced during their lives. Saying things in the comments section is risky business and when I used hammished there, I expected to receive some brutal and hilarious feedback (I did). However, I was hugely surprised to discover that most were generally receptive, if not outright dedicated to this word. I think that as it is a common experience, most can at least relate to the word. I think it fun to say, fun to listen to, and sums up the situation quite well. I have hope of this catching on and am pleased of this potential word to our lexicon.
