Can anyone please identify the origin and spelling of what I believe is a slang word - the word is "KAYLIDE" - well that's what it sounds like, and it means sloshed, drunk, plastered etc etc. A friend is nattering me for an explanation of the word - why me I can't imagine because he is frequently the one so described - and how !!

Hi Blakey,KALI was summat we used to have as kids.It was a fine sherbet powder which we'd often dunk a stick of spanish(liquorice stick) in !Quite where the transformation to also mean being plastered came in I'm not sure..... This delicacy was one of our spogs that we cherished most !

Hi Blakey, try Wikipedia - Sherbet Powder, it gives a good explanation to your question.

I've just rung my friend and explained, but I don't think its fully sunk in yet, or even partly, because last night's "keli" is till giving him a high reading on the "sherbetaliser" machine.

Sherbet was the white powder that we dipped liqueurish sticks in, the kayley was the multi coloured suger type stuff.
