New crop of bar slang

Modern Drunkard: Drunk Talk: the New Crop of Bar Slang

My favorite:

blank shame n. the vague feeling of guilt experienced in the aftermath of a blackout, without knowing if you actually did anything wrong.

MD's original slang survey, the Lush Lexicon, is also a classic.

You can listen to the neoancient bar songs of this guy. Tor goes from goofy to I I Iconoclastic as phuck fonics.

Just click the link, prepare to think, and laugh till you stink.

Always called it Drunk Guilt ... but Blank Shame is a pretty good description. Why does one assume such a feeling?

I don't know! It might have something to do with a history of regrettable behavior that gives one's improv classmates cause to ask if they took their pants off on the previous night.
