The correct spelling of the phrase "more half crocked" is a bit confusing at first glance. It is pronounced as /mɔː hɑːf krɒkt/ and means slightly drunk or tipsy. The key to understanding the spelling of this phrase is recognizing that "half-crocked" is a compound word made up of "half" and "crocked". To indicate that there is more of the "half" aspect present, we add "more" to the beginning. So, while it may look odd at first, "more half crocked" follows a logical pattern in both its meaning and spelling.
