Coked out of his gills

Randy Baumann, a radio personality on the DVE Morning Show (WDVE, Pittsburgh), was talking about watching a video of a young Ian Anderson (of Jethro Tull fame) and commented that Ian was probably “coked out of his gills.”   This is a mashup of “out of (one’s) mind” (crazy) and “doped to the gills” (thoroughly intoxicated by drugs). A big thank you to Mike Ameel for hearing this one and sending it in!
