A portmanteau combining the words
fun and animated.
Often used to describe someone who is very entertaining because of their use of bold,
dramatic gestures and facial expressions.
People who are funimated typically
make excellent storytellers and are both happily and deservedly the center of attention at gatherings.
"Is
Sammy shouting and gesturing at an imaginary dog?"
"Probably. She's really funimated. We should
go over there...I bet she's telling a great story."
