O'learious

The state of being incoherently drunk; near comatose.

Symptoms: general lethargy, slurred or inaudible speech, bodily trauma, unexplained fits of anger, the sudden urge to perform sexual intercourse upon unreasonably large women, getting into extremely life threatening situations (e.g. Falling onto the tracks of the Long Island Railroad), and sudden propensity for singing Irish tunes (Gaelic in the most extreme cases).

He was fucking O'learious when we convinced him to fight the monkey.

That'll Learn'em

A slang term usually uttered by rednecks that literally means " That will teach him", or "that should teach him a lesson". Its a contraction of the grammatically incorrect phrase "that will learn him".

Somebody at work keeps stealing my lunch, so today i brought in a bowl of spit-snot-soup. That'll learn'em to take things that don't belong to him.

learn you

A sentence fragment that is often believed to be grammatically incorrect, but is actually completely correct. The word learn is actually rooted in the Old English verb læran, meaning "to teach", and can be used transitively in this manner, e.g. "I'm going to learn you a lesson."

"I'm going to learn you a lesson."
"She learned him how to skate."
"He learned him how to fish."
