Three Sheets To The Wind
This term should be used by anyone who has ever been intoxicated in the past. In more ways than one, we appear to overestimate ourselves! You’ll actually say you’re all right when you’re on your way to getting drunk. Ok, we bet that that’s not what your mates agree on. Trust us. If you do not want to make bad choices, you should trust us! This is where the word at issue comes in. The term is nautical sounding because it is. A “sheet” is simply a rope that is unmoored, like an intoxicated person flailing around in the wind.

Madder Than A Wet Hen
We must say that we’ve never seen a wet hen before. The word is not supposed to be taken literally, however. If a woman is said to be “madder than a wet hen,” it means that you need not provoke any more. You never know, after all, what she is going to do when driven to the max! In fact, this is very similar to the old saying that goes, “Hell has no fury like a scorned woman.”
