‘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!
