Causing a hoopla or a scene or being liable to do so on account of being in a state not conducive toward maintaining standard decorum and being in the presence of a relatively sizable audience.
When your
head is spinning. Going around in circles mentally or physically. Being over excited, hyperactive or erratic. Typically indicates some loss of self control or coordination. Similar to hopping mad but not quite as intense. Unable to keep still and prancing/dancing around.
When someone says they are hooping it is usually to indicate that they should lower then expectations and not necessarily assume the person's superfluous movements or actions are the result of intent. This
may describe a state with partial similarities to desperately needing to
pee. See the urinal dance.
This is a little like saying you a
tipsy,
wasted,
baked,
drunk, buzzing or woozy except more toward being in more of an alert state than a sleepy inattentive state. It would tend to imply being loopy, dizzy, frantic, jittery, fidgety, etc.
May suggest being distracted and perhaps panic. In some degree of disarray. Unable to entirely
handle a situation or not being in a suitable state to fully conduct yourself accordingly.
Typically implies a state in response to having taken
drugs and/or having received a shock.
Dave: Why are you so clumbsy all of a sudden?
Steve: That last hit seems to have
gone to my
head. I'
m hooping all over the place.
