【No. 1023】Guden Guden (ぐでんぐでん)
Oct 6, 2017 11:20
Yesterday we held a drinking party.
I got back to work in the middle of the second party, but some people might have become a state called "guden guden" (ぐでんぐでん).
"Guden guden" is a term that means that someone gets so drunk that he doesn't know who he is.
The "guden" (ぐでん) of "guden guden" comes from "kiden" (貴殿), which is a honorific title for a man.
The "ki" (貴) of "kiden" means "you," and "guden" was born by replacing it with "gu" (愚), which means "fool."
Previously, I introduced the Japanese term "hebereke," which means a drunk state, but "guden guden" represents a much wors state than that.

ぐでんぐでん
昨日は飲み会がありました。
私は仕事のため途中で退散しましたが、中には「ぐでんぐでん」になった人もいたかもしれません。
「ぐでんぐでん」は、正体をなくすほど酒に酔っ払った様子を表す言葉です。
「ぐでん」は、男性の尊称「貴殿」から来ています。
「貴殿」の「貴」は "you" を意味しますが、これが「愚か者」を意味する「愚（ぐ）」に置き換えられ、「愚殿（ぐでん）」という言葉ができました。
以前、「へべれけ」という日本語を紹介しましたが、「ぐでんぐでん」はそれよりもさらにひどい状態を表します。

For the word "honor," even though it starts with an "h", the sound is like the vowel 「あ」so we use "an" instead of "a" before it ^_^

I see, hebereke and guden both express drunkenness. I guess it's like the difference between sloshed and crunk.
