Effervescent

This morning I was called effervescent.  If you want to give someone a compliment, that's a pretty fabulous one.  I LOVE that word.  (Though it does make me think of an Alka Selzer tablet a little bit.)  But what made me laugh was when I looked it up on-line in the "free dictionary" to make sure I was spelling it right, this is the example it gave of effervescent:

effervescent - marked by high spirits or excitement;

"his fertile effervescent mind"; "scintillating personality";

"a row of sparkly cheerleaders"

A row of sparkly cheerleaders?  Hysterical.
