Definition
-
"More slap happy" is an idiomatic expression used to describe someone who is excessively or overly happy, carefree, or lighthearted, often to the point of being irresponsible or lacking in seriousness. It refers to a person who is inclined to engage in frivolous behavior, make light of serious matters, or exhibit a childlike enthusiasm for almost everything.
The term originates from the idea of slapstick comedy, a form of physical comedy characterized by exaggerated movements and humorous physical actions, often involving slapping or hitting oneself or others for comedic effect. "Slap happy" originally referred to actors or performers who specialized in this kind of physical comedy, often appearing rather clumsy or foolish on stage or in films.
When used in a broader sense, "more slap happy" is commonly used to describe individuals who display a contagious exuberance or a propensity to laugh and joke frequently, even in inappropriate or serious situations. It suggests a certain insensitivity or lack of awareness about the gravity of a situation, where one's happiness or lack of seriousness might be seen as inappropriate or annoying by others.
While "more slap happy" generally conveys a light-heartedness or joyful disposition, it may also imply a lack of focus or maturity, often leading to irresponsible or irrational behavior.
