I'm so stoked and I just can't hold it in anymore

[Artman]

p.s. Don't ever say that again.

It gets me stoked when I say, "You go boy."

Actually, I'm the only person i know who says 'stoked'. Even people here look at me funny when I say it. I don't know why. I don't even remember where I picked the word up from.

I have used the term "stoked", as in "stoked to the gills", in reference to friends who were pretty "stoked", almost to the point of going into orbit.

Stoking means fueling a fire or boiler, and the term 'stoked' would mean 'fired up!'

From Merriam-Webster:

Etymology: Dutch stoken; akin to Middle Dutch stuken to push
transitive senses
1 : to poke or stir up (as a fire) : supply with fuel
2 : to feed abundantly
intransitive senses : to stir up or tend a fire (as in a furnace) : supply a furnace with fuel

Blame it on the Dutch!
