"Ready to burst", as in His job made him so bubbly. Added today. Equinox ◑ 22:47, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
- Um... what does that mean??—msh210℠ (talk) 23:42, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, the added sense, and its example, match sense 2 IMO, "cheerful, lively". Haplology 05:18, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
- Agreed, just an inappropriate exaggeration of sense 2. Just remove that sense as redundant. Dbfirs 13:29, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
- Looks just wrong, never come across it to mean literally about to burst (that is pop, explode) or figuratively to mean 'overjoyed'. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:50, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
- The definition seems to indicate stressed as opposed to "cheerful, lively". Not a good example sentence. If something is "bubbling" it tends to refer to the heat, rather than the actual bubbles. As such the use of bubbly in His job made him so bubbly refers to a heated and stressful situation. Perhaps a redirect to "bubbling" or a re-write of the example sentence would be best.

Definition: "Champagne"[edit]
Correct me if I'm wrong but this sounds like a UK or Australian thing to me. 216.137.192.89 07:47, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
- Possibly. The term is certainly in common use here in the UK.
- Furthermore, which of the definitions of "champagne" is this claiming as being the definition of "bubbly"? This impacts to which, if any, other sparkling wines the term applies to. Some online dictionaries define "bubbly" generically, whereas others simply define it "champagne", thereby referring back into the same ambiguity. I would imagine that in common use it's pretty generic, so I'm wondering if the definition ought to be amended. — Smjg (talk) 16:43, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
