7. OPEN THE BALL
Starting the Battle. Let the party begin.
8. TIGHT
Slang for drunk. From the old expression "Tight as a Tick." So full of blood or liquor as it were.
9. BUST HEAD / POP SKULL
Other names: Moonshine, Booth Terms for whiskey. Well, cheap whiskey to be precise. The whiskey was so strong that it could pop your skull or bust your head open. You get what you pay for.
