Wayne’s Word – buzzing

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

If you’re joining in on today’s word, feel free to use this tag to connect your post to the series: #WaynesWord

Today’s word is BUZZING.

Used in Northern Ireland to mean: happy, ecstatic, full of energy. Im not thinking of bees or wasps today.

Have you ever been so chuffed you could burst? That’s buzzing. In Northern Ireland, if you’re buzzing, you’re not just happy, you’re electric.

Some examples:

“Buzzing I got that job!”

“I was buzzing after the gig last night, unreal atmosphere.”

“The whole place was buzzing when he scored that last-minute goal.”

Let me know if you have ever used this word in this context 🙂
