Definition
Comparative form of giggly; more inclined to giggle or more prone to giggling than something else.
Etymology
From 'giggly' (from 'giggle') with the comparative suffix '-er.' This creates the comparative degree of the adjective, as in 'she is gigglier than her sister.'
Kelly Says
Comparative adjectives like 'gigglier' work by adding '-er' to one-syllable or simple words, but the fact that we can say 'gigglier' shows how productive English word-formation is—we can compare almost any quality.

Ethical Language Guidance
Gender History
Comparative form reinforces the stereotype that someone (often read as female) who giggles more is correspondingly less serious, intelligent, or worthy of authority.
Inclusive Usage
Avoid comparative judgment based on laughter frequency. Use neutral language like 'more readily amused' if description is necessary.
Inclusive Alternatives
["more readily amused","more cheerful"]
