passout
Suddenly go limp
A passout is the moment of losing consciousness, especially from alcohol, exhaustion, or physical stress.
In military and academic contexts, a passout is a graduation ceremony—the moment cadets or students formally complete training and "pass out" of the institution: The passout parade was attended by families of the new officers.
