What it means
Amped means totally hyped and ready to go, like someone cranked your volume knob to 11. You say it when you’re buzzing for a gig, a skate sesh, a game, whatever’s got you fired up. It can also hint you’re a bit wired from caffeine. Mostly positive, unless you’re amped and looking for trouble.
Usage examples
"Dude, I snagged front row at the Hollywood Bowl and I’m amped. Gonna chug a cold brew and scream every chorus like a feral seagull."
"I'm so amped for the gig tonight, I've had the tickets stuck to the fridge for a month."
"The whole team was amped after the last-minute goal, you could hear them from the car park."
