What Does It Mean to Be Antsy?

Antsy is a slang term that is used to describe someone who is feeling restless or impatient. It is often used to describe someone who is eager to get started on something, or who is feeling frustrated by delays or waiting.

For example, if you are waiting for a long time for something to happen, you might say "I'm getting antsy" to express your feeling of restlessness and impatience.

The word "antsy" is thought to have originated from the idea that ants are always in motion, constantly moving and fidgeting. Similarly, when someone is feeling antsy, they may be feeling like they need to be constantly doing something, rather than just sitting still and waiting.
