Are you going out on the shant tonight? (i.e. are you going out on the beer?) He was completely shanted last night? (He was very drunk). I first came across this as student slang in the late 1980s. I used it in a novel 'Fishing for Angels', which was drafted in the early 1990s and published in 1997 by Interstate in a compilation of fiction (The Casino Kid, Roger Frederick ISBN: 1 871604 03 6).The main character goes for a pizza with a girl he's just met and after a mix-up over glass sizes they both consumer 4 pints of strong lager. In the text, it is used thus:
"By the time we'd finished our second tankards of Kronenberg, I have to say I was feeling pretty merry myself. Turtle was completely shanted."
A newspaper review at the time cited the novel as a prime example of the way literature was being dumbed down by the use of slang and inproper grammar. I was well made up! :-)

Sh(ort) (p)ants. This term may refer to any pant that has been cropped to a length that hits somewhere between the ankle and the middle of one's calf.
Flood pants, usually seen in a place where a flood is not likely. Shants are most commonly seen on middle-aged women. They may be made of linen or of a cotton blend, and they are most often white, bright pink, turquoise, or lime green in color. However, neither the color nor the material is a criterion for their categorization as shants. The length maketh the shant.
Any shants sported by a man may be referred to as "man shants" or simply shmants.
