Origin of: Arseholes/arseholed

Arseholes/arseholed

Meaning drunk is slang dating from the mid-20th century, although the OED gives arseholed meaning drunk from only 1982. The OED’s dates of origin usually refer to the first time used in print. Many publications of course might hesitate to use such a word in print. Moreover, most slang expressions, especially the more vulgar ones, would have had very much earlier usage in speech before appearing in print.
