Today's word from Diary: Jittery

1/26/2008

Today I was a bit tired, and slept until 10 AM. After taking a shower, we went to breakfast and got a couple of newspapers. I ordered a vegetable omelet with hash brown and toast. My husband got strawberry crapes and bacon. We also had coffee.

After breakfast, we went to a coffee shop. We love to study and talk about different topics that interest or inspire us in our favorite coffee shop hangout. He got a triple shot iced mocha. After a while, his hands started getting shaky. He said "I drank too much coffee. I am really jittery now." Jittery means "shaky and slightly uncontrolled" or "nervous" (Cambridge Dictionary Online)

Jittery from the News:
Scary movies are supposed to leave patrons feeling a bit scared and jittery, but the newest horror flick is leaving Oklahoma City-area moviegoers with a different feeling – nausea.
