stoked

stoked
adj
excited, thrilled, stimulated. The usage probably arose in the surfing commu-nity in the US, whence it spread to other English-speaking areas. It is now popu-lar, particularly in
Australian speech. It derives from the image of a furnace being 'stoked up' or perhaps from the words 'stunned' or 'choked'.
► 'Beth's really stoked you're going to give her away.' (Neighbours,
Australian TV soap opera, 1993)
