‘Hinge’ is an adjective.
To ‘Hinge it’ - is to be somewhat out of your
mind as a result of taking illicit substances.
This word/phrase originated in Carterton, Oxfordshire in the
early 1990’s, where a person called Mark Heaton, was out of control on some
mind bending drugs. At the time his friends convinced him that he had hinges in his arms and
legs.
He started moving his body thinking that were full of hinges - he began to ‘Hinge it’. It was supremely entertaining. As a result this
legendary phrase was born! And Mark thankfully made a full recovery. No harm done.
Now - in Oxfordshire - if someone is losing it due to drugs, they are known to be ‘hinging it’. It became part and parcel of the Oxfordshire rave and nightclub culture and is still used today.
Oh wow - I am really hinging it now!
Last night you should have
seen Colin - he was
fucking hinging it!
It’s my day off tomorrow - let’s get wrecked and hinge it hard!
