hyappy

Definition

That hyper-enthusiastic state of being absurdly excited about a new Android app, possibly enhanced by stimulants that make everything seem revolutionary. It's happiness cranked up to eleven specifically because you discovered an app that color-codes your to-do list. The word itself is trying way too hard, which is very on-brand.

Example Usage

He's been hyappy all morning showing everyone his new productivity app like he invented time management.
