"Toped" is a verb that typically refers to the act of consuming alcohol in excess, particularly with regard to drinking alcoholic beverages to the point of drunkenness. When someone topes, they indulge in heavy or excessive drinking. The term "toped" can also describe engaging in a session of convivial, often jovial, heavy drinking with others.
The act of toping can involve various forms of alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wine, spirits, or mixed drinks. However, the term is not exclusive to a particular type of alcohol and can encompass any kind of heavy drinking regardless of the alcoholic beverage involved.
The usage of "toped" is commonly associated with informal or casual contexts, where people gather to socialize and enjoy the effects of alcohol consumption. The term generally carries implications of carefree or indulgent drinking, often accompanied by a disregard for moderation or limits.
It is worth noting that "toped" is not a widely used term in modern English, and its appearance is rather limited. The word is considered somewhat archaic, and today, more common or colloquial terms like "drank excessively" or "overindulged in alcohol" may be used instead to convey the same meaning.
The word "toped" is the past tense and past participle of the verb "to tope". The etymology of "tope" can be traced back to the Old English word "topian", which meant "to turn upside down" or "to overturn". In Middle English, the word evolved to "topen", which meant "to tilt" or "to tumble over". Over time, the meaning shifted to "to drink to excess" or "to get drunk". This sense is first recorded in the 16th century, and it remains the primary meaning of "tope" and "toped" in modern English.
