Head Over Heels

Very excited and/or joyful, especially when in love.



Head over heels' is now most often used as part of 'head over heels in love'. When first coined it wasn't used that way though and referred exclusively to being temporarily the wrong way up. It is one of many similar phrases that we use to describe things that are not in their usual state - 'upside-down', 'topsy-turvy',



Ex: I am head over heels for her!



Spanish: Patas arriba



German: sich überschlagen
