Expanding one's vocabulary...

Encountered in a conversation with a Russian:

недоперепить - (v.) to have drunk more than one should, but not as much as one wanted.

An interesting concept, to be sure.

Cheers...

How would that be pronounced phonetically? Sounds like a useful word : )

Genius! I tell you, when it comes to resonance of language related to liquor- you just can't beat Russian.

The word is underoverengineered.
