metyylisillä

Metyylisillä is a Finnish colloquial term. It refers to a state of being heavily intoxicated, typically by alcohol. The word is derived from "metyyli," which is short for methyl alcohol (methanol). While methanol is a highly toxic alcohol, the term "metyylisillä" in this context does not necessarily imply consumption of methanol itself but rather an extreme level of drunkenness, often associated with consuming large quantities of any alcoholic beverage. The severity of the intoxication can range from being extremely drunk to being completely incapacitated. It is a highly informal and often humorous expression used in casual conversation among Finnish speakers to describe someone who is very drunk. The usage is generally understood to be a hyperbole for severe intoxication, rather than a literal description of poisoning by methanol.
