WTF is “Giddy”?
Ecstatic.
Giddy = extremely happy.
George, buddy, pal. Lay low, for Chrissakes! And change your name to Immanuel Goldstein.
My first response was: She got paid by the media to turn on her husband!
It was just Twitter - it was all over facebook, as well.
No, he should change his name to Mohammed Islam and say he belongs to Al-Qaeda, Obama will use the air force to defend him.
I think the gunner’s “W” was for who and not what. Just a guess.
Well, very coincidentally - she filed for divorce either yesterday or the day before. Perhaps she needs him to look really BAD so she can get some money. I’d like to know what really happened. Wasn’t there something like, ‘he is not in custody but held at a home’ or something so very vague?
Although not exactly the right word in this context, this is also what "Gay" used to mean.
Now it’s reported that a “gun was present” but not involved. Of course, a gun was present. He has a license to carry.

Oh, Mr. Humble - you’re old enough to know the definition of “giddy.” Are you trying to convince us you are a 20 year old know-nothing? I’m not buying.
Giddy is more like silly happy or so happy they are giggling with joy.
Yay Twits, telling us all the news in 140 characters or less.
Effing Twit-tards.
Yeah, thanks. I'm aware.

Think of how you feel when you find large quantities of free tannerite.
That’s “Giddy”
