- In reality, I ended up doing 12 kegstands, puking my brains out, and sleeping through my econ quiz.
kegstand
noun; compounding
Drinking from the tap of a keg while being held upside down. [Compound keg + stand.] This word is the reaction to a drinking activity that previously had no word to describe it. One could describe the activity in a series of physical descriptions, but a new word was needed for reason similar to other slang words.
Etymology : A compound of keg and stand. The compound explains the basic action, and an unexpressed requirement is drinking from the tap. This is a common slang word taken from a physical description of an action from two words.
