Burnt Toast

Burnt Toast, also commonly referred to as "BT", is the state of uncontrollable sleepiness and or heavy eyelids. A ridiculous drowsiness that is unescapable for any living organism. May lead to dropping of the controller in late night video game sessions. Or, getting beat on a backdoor cut while defending in basketball. The only cure is sleep and better better gym shoes.
Oh my Gosh, Mary is so burnt toast.
Guys, I'm burnt toast.
She is passed out for the night, BURNT TOAST.
He got burned on that backdoor cut. He is extra burnt toast.

What are the signs of BT?
1. Eyelids that feel as though they have heavy chain balls attached to them.
2. Uncontrollable laughter at things that wouldn't ordinarily be all that funny.
3. You're playing Halo at 3am in the morning and you glance over at your teammates screen only to find that his character is running into a wall, while the player's eyes are closed.
4. Another sure fire sign is the tired head bob or slurring of words.
