This one was uttered by a guy accused of shooting a woman in the face with a crossbow. Heard on a Memphis local news network, WREG. Here’s the video:
Man accused of shooting woman in face with crossbow denies claims: ‘She’s lying out of her teeth’
This is a conflation of “lying through (one’s) teeth” (to lie brazenly) and “out of (one’s) mind” (crazy). Or is it possible she had dentures? A big thanks to Lou Pugliese for hearing this one and sending it in.

I love this one. This was overheard outside a bar. It is a mashup of “drunk off his ass” (very intoxicated) and “out of his mind” (crazy). Crazy drunk? Upside down? A big thanks to Anthony Kovacs for hearing this one and sending it in!
