slaphappy
Dazed and giggly
Slaphappy describes a state of giddiness or disorientation, originally from being hit repeatedly—like a boxer who's taken too many blows to the head.
The meaning has softened to describe anyone who's become silly or punchy from exhaustion, stress, or overstimulation: We got slaphappy after pulling an all-nighter.
It can also characterize someone who's recklessly carefree or irresponsibly cheerful.
