slap happy
Goofy from exhaustion
Slaphappy describes a giddy, dazed, or reckless state—originally from being punched too many times, like a boxer who's taken too many blows to the head.
The meaning has softened to include any punch-drunk euphoria from exhaustion or excess: We got slaphappy after pulling an all-nighter.
Sometimes implies careless cheerfulness bordering on foolishness.
