Effervescent: bubbly, high-spirited or animated
Every time I hear this word, I imagine myself soaking in one of those champagne glass tubs with bubble bath foam up to my ears. You've seen them before - you know, the ones they install in shady motels for nighttime romantics. I'm pretty sure even Beyonce took a dip in one, specifically in her music video for "Naughty Girl."
This lively word can be used to describe the carbonated nature of soda pop or a bottle of champagne, but I like to use it to describe a vivacious someone who can't quite tame the energy bubbling up inside them.
Here's an example of how to use it:
I never listen to the instructions preceding a plane ride, but this flight attendant commanded my attention. She pointed her fingers and shook the oxygen mask with such an effervescent, sparkling charisma, I barely remembered I had seen this type of performance dozens of times before.
Order yourself a glass of Prosecco and settle in with this one in first-class. Side effects include giddiness and possible belching.
