enthusiastic
When using this word to describe a person's feeling toward something, it is almost always followed by the preposition "about" (e.g., "enthusiastic about the project"). While it is generally positive, in some contexts, calling someone "too enthusiastic" can suggest they are being over-eager or slightly annoying to others.
💬Casual Conversation
🎬Tuesday afternoon, David is in a meeting while Jessica is frantically checking the project timeline.
Jessica
The client's feedback was lukewarm at best. We're in a real bind here.
David
Just pivot the pitch. Make them more enthusiastic about the synergy.
💡
Jessica uses the idiom 'in a real bind' to express her anxiety over a difficult situation. David responds with corporate jargon ('pivot', 'synergy') and uses 'enthusiastic' as the central goal for the client's reaction, reflecting his delusional attempt to sound like a tech visionary.
