What it means
Means you’re absolutely buzzing to start something, like you’ve been stuck on the starting line with your foot tapping. You’re keen, hyped, and ready to crack on right now, not later. You’ll hear it before trips, matches, nights out, or any big plan. It’s got that fresh optimism that reality loves to mug off five minutes in.
Usage examples
"Alarm’s set for 5am and I’m raring to go, full of beans. By the time I hit the bus, I’m begging for a brew."
"The dog's been raring to go since six, sat by the door with the lead in his mouth."
"New trainers on, water bottle filled, I was raring to go right up until the first hill."
