stoked

Eager and energized

Stoked means excited or enthusiastic, often intensely so: I'm so stoked for the concert.

The word comes from stoking a fire—building it up—and suggests energy that's been fueled or amplified.

Originally surfer slang from the 1960s, it remains casual and youthful: She was stoked to get the job offer.
