What does GIDDY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having a whirling, unsteady sensation as if about to fall, or feeling a light-headed rush of excitement or happiness.
Giddy first describes the physical dizziness of spinning around too fast or standing up too quickly, when the ground itself seems to tilt. From that unsteady feeling, English also uses giddy for an emotional high, as when good news leaves someone almost too excited to think straight. Older writers additionally used giddy to mean frivolous or flighty, a sense that survives in phrases like "giddy youth." The word can even work as a verb, meaning to make someone dizzy, though the adjective is far more common today.
How GIDDY is used
Common in everyday speech for both physical dizziness and a rush of excitement; the "frivolous" sense now sounds a little old-fashioned.
