Some sense of "dizzy from height" does need to be added. Robert Ullmann 12:24, 7 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Does not also mean "happy or excited"? per freedictionary 71.170.153.116 17:57, 30 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
- No. It is often used in the sense of "dizzy with excitement", but it actually refers to the dizziness and not the cause of that dizziness. --EncycloPetey 18:01, 30 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
- Actually, no. Look at the Meriam-Webster online definition number 2. It clearly has another meaning besides dizzy, which describes the meaning that Robert was talking about. BirdValiant 02:52, 4 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
