Of course we all know about the stone that’s a noun, and to get stoned as a verb, either for pleasure of for doing something wicked. But are you among the fortunate few (maybe many, that’s why I’m here) who find stone makes an expressive adjective or adverb?
As in:
stone fox (easy to look at woman)
stone blind (can’t see for shit)
What are some other quaint ways you have heard stone used?
In high school, I had a buddy that used to rate how high he was on a scale from one to twenty stones. Smoking a bowl or joint with a buddy would get you about ten stones. I guess it’s not technically an adjective, since you were symbolically taking possession of the stones.
Yes, he had about 18 stones when he came up with the idea.
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like jelly roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin home
And it stoned me
----Van Morrison
You bet. It was “stone fox” that prompted me to post the OP to begin with. It just popped into my head as I was doing something else and reminded me of this skank at work who considered herself among the “stone fox” crowd. Back a dog off a meat truck.
I just couldn’t think of a clever way of asking how many Dopers used the term.
Glad you could supply that data unprompted!
I think it was Willie Nelson in one of the old Robert Redford movies who said that when he retired he was going to find him a gal who could suck a golf ball through a garden hose. Sound familiar? Or maybe it was the chrome off a bumper hitch. Something colorful and descriptive.
