When To Use

What does bombed mean?

Bombed is a slang adjective that means extremely drunk or high on drugs or both.Bombed is just one of the many slang synonyms for intoxicated that involve a sense of destruction, including destroyed, blitzed, hammered, smashed, wasted, and trashed. Other synonyms include sloshed, tanked, and plastered. Such words often imply that a person is intoxicated beyond a point of being able to function in even the most basic ways. Someone who’s described as bombed probably can’t even walk or talk properly. In many cases, a person who’s bombed is intoxicated to the point of blacking out—losing consciousness and probably losing their memory of what happened when they were intoxicated.Bombed is often used in the phrases bombed out of one’s mind and bombed out of one’s skull, as in The guy was bombed out of his mind on PCP and ranting and raving at everyone. Example: He got so bombed that he couldn’t remember anything that happened before he woke up in his car, which he had crashed into a tree.
