Stone as an adjective or adverb

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?

Stone mason. What comes to mind?

Stylistically speaking, I’m stone in love with this thread. :cool:

Stone drunk means you’re so drunk you’re about as useful as a stone. Stone dead means the same, only permanent.

Everybody must get stoned!

Stone Cold Steve Austin!

And that’s the bottom line. 'Cause Stone Cold said so.

Does “stone-washed” count?

And is that more like 14 pounds of “in love”?

Yes. As in, “I done stone washed my hands, Mama. Now, can I please eat?”

“Wash” needs an “r” in it, by the way.

Stone fruit!

Still waiting to see one of those there adjectives you mentioned.

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.

Stone cold sober as a matter of fact…

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

Oh yeah

I like stone 'cause it helps me build World Wonders twice as fast. Or is that marble?

I love this use of the word. It reminds me of a dear friend who used “stone fox” all the time.

It also is a real adjective: a stone house.

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.
