A state of intoxication in which a person may (hopefully) be after consuming a number of drugs including but not limited to Ice, MDMA, Dexies, Pingers, and most commonly Speed. All of these drugs are types of Amphetamines, hence the name. Similar to saying that a marijuana-smoker is "stoned", or that an alcohol consumer is "drunk".

Amphigorey

A collection of books produced by the surrealist artist Edward Gorey in the mid 19 hundreds. There are four omnibus editions, all named Amphigorey, produced between 1972 and 2006. Each edition contains a select number of works. Though some of these short stories contained within the series are published under a pseudonym they all spawned from the same mind.
Totally read Amphigorey this weekend, and was diggin' Edward Gorey's gothic poetry.
