Talk:thick

Voluptuous

His head was thick with wine

 * 1902, John Buchan, The Outgoing of the Tide
 * The next he kenned he was rolling on the grass, for his hand had gone clean through the body and found nothing but air. His head was so thick with wine that he found nothing droll in this.

I don't think it's accurate to put this under the modern informal sense meaning "stupid". It is probably more something like a thick, heavy texture, a state of being befuddled. Do we need a separate sense? Equinox ◑ 21:02, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
