to croft (verb)
the ability to drink huge quant-ties of alcohol, byp-ss vomiting, to go straight to comatose often accompanied by mandymoments. comas are generally preceded by loud off key singing of pop songs and attempts at various forms of modern dancing (punk, break etc). the use of tequila often acts as a catalyst for crofting. comas are usually temporary until the next croft episode, as early as the next day. excessive crofting often leads to becoming a local urban legend. while crofting can occur with both male and female species, it is by far most entertaining when performed by the female species.
