Giggliest

/ˈɡɪɡliəst/ adjective

Definition

Etymology

From 'giggly' with the superlative suffix '-est.' The superlative denotes the highest degree of a quality, as in 'she is the giggliest person in the room.'

Kelly Says

Superlatives like 'giggliest' let us rank things on a scale, and they're often used hyperbolically for humor—calling someone 'the giggliest' person is a playful way to describe their infectious, unstoppable laughter.

Ethical Language Guidance

Gender History

Superlative form intensifies the gender stereotype, often used pejoratively to dismiss someone (typically female) as the least serious or credible in a group.

Inclusive Usage

Avoid. If describing someone with a ready laugh, use neutral framing that doesn't judge seriousness or competence.

["most readily amused","most cheerful"]
